Occupational segregation in relation to men and women does currently exist,
to some extent, within the College. This is largely reflected as horizontal
segregation. This means the College has a clustering of males and females in
traditionally gendered occupations and roles and, in some cases, there is a
vertical line evident too in these particular occupations and roles. The notion of
a vertical line is not suggestive of vertical segregation as result of the College’s
actions. This is more reflective of wider societal assumptions of what men ‘do’
and what women ‘do’. Consequently, full gender diversity is not always witnessed
at application and recruitment stages in traditionally gendered occupations and
roles. This therefore, can impact upon career promotion as the pool of applicants
is typically gender weighted to males or females dependent on occupation
and role.
