Despite all manner of vocational orientation projects motivated by equal opportunities policy in the technical and skilled crafts sectors, there has been little change in the proportion of women in the skilled crafts and in industrial-technical occupations. Hence the effectiveness of such projects is questioned. Taking two selected Girls' Day events as examples, the article shows the extent to which equality-oriented support projects have interactively softened, or indeed hardened, gender divides in the technical and skilled crafts sectors.
