When takeing applications for construction apprenticeship programs, what percentage of women  the law requires
145263
Under the federal law they are not REQUIRED to hire a certain number of women, but rather their workforce must be representative of the community in which it is based.  There is still some legal debate over what that REALLY means.

I understand people's confusion over AA, but what about this scenario?  It happens all the time:  18 qualified people apply for a job.  One, however, is extremely qualified, heads above the rest.  She is the only woman applicant.  The man hiring her convinces himself that because she is a woman, she'll likely not work as hard because she probably will want kids and be a mom some day.  OR this scenario.  Of the 18 applicants, the one who stands way over the rest is an African American.  The man hiring decides that his clients would be uncomfortable working with a minority, so he gives the job to a white man.\n\nDiscrimination does exist.  Maybe AA doesn't solve these problems, but how do you make it fair for women and minorities if it's not a law to have fair hiring practices?

I did some remodeling work in a 55plus community in Washingtons Crossing Pa. When I asked a beautiful blonde neighbor who was obviously much younger she told me that the developer set aside 20% of the units for under 55 but with no children under 19 residing with them.I'm not sure about the housing act but I would guess that most communities have some exceptions as well.

You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two FREE sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes. You search for grants where you qualify at CFDA and then apply at Grants.gov\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.\n\nNote though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants. \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs

In 2001, among those who entered a 2-year degree granting program in the 1995-6 year, 29.9% of those who were 20-23 when entering had obtained a degree, 36.5% of those who were 24-29 when entering had obtained a degree, and 30.6% of those who were 30+ had obtained a degree. Among those entering a 4-year program in 1995-6, 37.7% of those 20-23 had obtained a degree, 34.4% of those 24-29 had obtained a degree, and 26.1% of those 30+ had obtained a degree. These numbers are lower, though not by much than younger students for 2-year colleges, but significantly lower than younger students at 4-year colleges.

Check with EEOC for the current rules.  Decades ago it was felt that asking for age, race, religious or ethnic background or gender was prima facia evidence of an intent to discriminate in employment.  A photograph obviously is indicative of age, race, gender and sometimes religious or ethnic background.  \n\nWhile the law is complex, medical schools may still have the right to decide to admit students so as to have an entering class with a certain gender and racial mix.  E.g. a medical school may want to have a male/female ratio close to 50/50; or have a minimum percentage of Native Americans, or Blacks.  A photograph would be useful in deciding which category an applicant would be put in by an observer -- which might be different from the category the applicant might claim.

(See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance.

You may want to read about the Minority and Women's Prequalification Pilot Loan Program\n\nhttp://www.sba.gov/business_finances/prequal/preqgen.html\n\nUnder the program\n"The maximum amount for loans under the women's program is $250,000; under the minority program, it is generally the same, although some districts set other limits. With both, the SBA will guarantee up to 80 percent. The intermediary then helps the borrower locate a lender offering the most competitive rates."\n\n"Intermediaries (usually small business development centers) may charge a reasonable fee for loan packaging. Fees charged by for-profit organizations will be higher.
