Non-gender typical VET could have the potential to reduce gender segregation on the labour market and to lessen gender-specific inequalities. Nevertheless, studies indicate the poorer utilisation perspectives of such training qualifications. In order to examine these more closely, this article identifies challenges people face in their later employment history if they opted for training in an occupation dominated by the other gender. The basis is provided by interviews with people who have left their non-gender typical training occupation and on expert interviews.
