I believe they are starting to pursue them more. There's the GETT, or girls entering trades and technologies program. I believe it's a program in grades 7 and 8 where girls are taken to a technical college. They spend a week there learning about the different trades available to them. They get to speak with the instructors and other successful females going through that program. I believe it is actually improving.
