Gender Bias in Training Programs

Gender bias in training programs occurs when the design or delivery of these programs unintentionally favors one gender over another, impacting learning and career advancement. This bias can manifest in various ways, such as the selection of examples, the types of skills prioritized, or the inherent expectations from participants. For instance, if a training program focuses predominantly on fields traditionally viewed as male-dominated, it may not adequately engage or support female participants. Addressing gender bias is crucial to ensure equal opportunities, diverse perspectives, and a more inclusive environment within educational and professional settings.
