Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 states: "No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 states: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." Therefore, the National Center for Research in Vocational Education project, like every program or activity receiving financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Education, must be operated in compliance with these laws.

It means the existence of conditions that gives girls and boys, women and men the same opportunities and choices to advance themselves in education, training, and careers (Soldwedel, 1988) based on their abilities and talents and not on gender role stereotypes and expectations (Nash, 1991). By the turn of the century, women are expected to account for nearly half of the labor force. The government is moving to meet the growing needs of this population by enacting the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act of 1990 and introducing the Gender Education Equity Act (H.R. 1793) * of 1993 in Congress. The 1990 Perkins Act contains provisions designed to increase the educational and career oppportunities of girls and women in vocational education. H.R. 1793 addresses the issues of gender bias and inequity within the educational system that negatively affects girls and women. It contains nine bills, including the Women's Educational Equity Act (WEEA). In addition to such positive legislative initiatives,a number of organizations, institutions, educational information/research centers, and special interest groups have been strong advocates for the rights of girls and women. rths resource guide contains descriptions of and contact information for (1) organizations, (2) educational information centers, and (3) human resources focusing on gender equity. It is intended to be selective rather than comprehensive. Questions about the organizations in this guide should be directed to the corresponding contact person/s.

OCR carries out its civil rights enforcement responsibilities through a compliance program that includes complaint investigations: compliance reviews; monitoring recipient's remedial action plans; techni- cal assistance delivered both proactively and during the course of com- plaint investigations and compliance reviews; and administrative enforce- ment proceedings. As part of its technical assistance activities, OCR distributes informa- tion and materials, and provides consultation on the requirements of the civil rights laws under its authority. OCR maintains a headquarters office in Washington D.C. and ten regional offices throughout the United States.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, FEDERAL COMMITTEE ON APPRENTICESHIP (FCA) Established by charter to advise the U.S. Secretary of Labor on mat- ters pertaining to the U.S. apprenticeship system, the FCA consists of rep- resentatives of employers, labor, education, and others. It has estab- lished nine subcommittees on which it relies to provide information and recommended actions for consideration. The subcommittee that reviews the proposed revisions to the apprenticeship regulations is inactive at this time but in the event that the Department renews its efforts in revising the regulations, that subcommittee will be involved. In addition, the commit- tee receives information and suggestions from many other sources, such as the Congress, Department of Labor officials, Department of Education officials, and other public and private organizations or agencies. A Subcommittee on Outreach to Underrepresented Groups has been established to identify problems and barriers to the increased participation of underrepresented groups, specifically women and people of color, and to identify and evaluate successful strategies to overcome those barriers. Labor Department officials, other Federal Agency representaNes, and outside organization staff have met with the Subcommittee to discuss the barriers, problems, and activities to help overcome them.
