The Equal Rights Opportunity Act of 1972 made it unlawful to discriminate against women and minorities. In response,
Seattle City Light began to actively recruit from these populations. The utility developed initiatives to support women
through their
training, redesigned programs to accommodate women in the trades, and provided training to employees to prevent discrimi
nation and sexual harassment. The records include statistcs on women and minorities at Seattle City Light, women in trad
es
initiatives and advertising, the apprenticeship program's collaboration with the Office of Women's Rights, an Education
Welfare Reform Program guide, and information on investment in human capital.
