Abstract	This study explores the impact of the electrical and technology curriculum of an urban charter high school in Philadelphia for the alumnae of the school. The study found a positive impact that empowered the alumnae to face gender and racial discrimination in their apprenticeship program. It also found a positive impact for alumnae that are not pursuing a path in the trades but instead are either in college or the working world. The alumnae shared their pride in having this knowledge that is from a traditionally male field. A critical postmodern feminist approach was taken in constructing this qualitative study. The entire alumnae of the school were contacted and three individuals discussed their experiences with the curriculum and how they have used it in their every day lives. The study presents the alumnae's voices and stories to demonstrate the positive impact of the curriculum for their lives.
