What is Nontraditional?
The 2006 Perkins Act of 2006 defines nontraditional fields as occupations of fields of work, including careers in computer science, technology and other emerging high-skill occupations, for which individuals from one gender comprise less than twenty-five percent of the individuals employed in each such occupation or field of work.

Why is this important?
If the State of Ohio is to grow and prosper, it must raise the education level of its population. To raise the educational attainment of our state each year, and to close the gap between Ohio and competitors we must graduate more students, keep more of our graduates in Ohio and attract more degree holder from out of state.
