Analysis of Gender Differences in Participation in Continuing Vocational Training: An Organizational Perspective

This study examines gender disparities in continuing vocational training (CVT) from an organizational perspective. By analyzing data from different sized companies, the research identifies significant differences in access to CVT between men and women, highlighting systemic challenges and barriers. Quantitative analysis reveals a consistent inverse proportionality of participation rates, with women often being more involved in CVT programs, particularly in smaller organizations, where their participation rates are significantly higher than men's. These findings suggest that organizational policies, cultural factors, and structural barriers influence access to training opportunities. The research highlights the importance of developing inclusive strategies and flexible training programs that address the specific needs of both sexes. It also emphasizes the role of equitable resource allocation and policy adjustments in promoting balanced professional development and improving organizational performance. By providing actionable insights, this study contributes to the discourse on gender equality in vocational training and its implications for workforce development.
