Opportunities For Women:

There are very few positions outside the State Services for women graduates. The Appointments Board is doing what it can to improve this, but we do not expect any spectacular results. There are some reasons why an employer will be a little reluctant to employ women, but I am sure that in many cases these reasons do not justify the rigid policies some companies have.

However, I would not like to think that this comment will discourage women graduates from seeking positions in industry or commerce.

Indeed, actions speak louder than words, and every woman who talks her way into a job in spite of a company's policy will do more to improve the situation than any amount of arguing by this board.
