Furthermore, it was said, the significance of the role of
volunteer work in the community is perhaps even more important
than the role of volunteer work in the life of the woman.
This fact should be kept in mind in any treatment of volunteer
work.
54. The importance of using the schools for the training
or re-training of older women, and the need for more facilities
and greater vision in the matter of guidance for these older
women were also stressed. The desirability of developing
more opportunities for part-time employment, both as a way
of protecting family life and as a way of keeping skills in
use during the interim years, was also urged.
55. Another conferee emphasized the need for "total guidance"
for girls, as opposed to a narrower concept of vocational
guidance. The inadequacy of the kind of guidance proposed
Richard D
in A Policy for Skilled Manpower --assumed to be vocational
guidance in the narrowest sense--was decried.
56. Other conferees stressed the role of the true "career girl.
They urged that attention be paid to her problems, particularly
the importance of assuring her training opportunities at the
appropriate time and of her advancement and promotion when she
was qualified for a job at a higher level. These women, it
was pointed out, demonstrate what women can do, and thus widen
the horizons f'or other women.
