Abstract	Occupational segregation by sex caused by covert discrimination, often unintentional, effectively limits the careers pursued by both men and women. Data indicate that despite the gains in the number of employed women, job segregation patterns that confine women to the traditional female occupations persist and worsen along with the resultant low wages. Vocational segregation by sex in the labor force is mirrored in vocational education enrollments of women in the traditionally female programs. What can vocational educators do? Our primary responsibility is putting our own house in order by implementing fully the Vocational Education Amendments of 1976, changing recruitment and admission practices and policies, improving guidance and counseling efforts, revising curricular materials and teaching practices, increasing the number of female vocational administrators and qualified women teachers in male-dominated courses and vice versa, and continuing important research and development efforts on women in vocational education. Second, vocational educators, as change agents, must recognize and change socialization patterns that limit the occupational choices of men and women. And third, as leaders, they can encourage positive legislative actions, including the establishment of a national commission on women and work having the nonprofessional worker as its primary focus. (The author's answers to sixteen questions from the audience of vocational education research and development personnel are appended.) (EM)
