Abstract	An in-service training module is presented that is designed to assist community college vocational instructors in recruiting and retaining students in courses that are non-traditional for their sex. The workbook first presents a rationale for the implementation of sex affirmative programs in vocational education, discussing gender stereotypes and the inequitable position of women in the labor force. This is followed by a list of terms and definitions needed to familiarize educators with the terminology of sex equity in education. Relevant legislation is then identified and discussed to provide a working knowledge of the legal aspects of sex discrimination in educational and work settings. Administrative and curricular practices which retard sex equity at community colleges are then identified and specific steps to promote sex equity in vocational programs are enumerated. These steps include the active recruitment of students, the elimination of sex bias in course content and materials, and the provision of non-biased vocational counseling and job placement services. Worksheets and exercises are provided throughout the workbook. (JP)
