Three main types of Affirmative Action “outreach”, how one is chosen to work at a job/go to that school, and rewarding institutions with disadvantaged minorities
Outreach- presenting women and minorities with jobs or education that they thought could not be previously obtained such as colleges recruiting inner city students or women being encouraged to apply for traditionally male jobs
How minorities and women can be hired/accepted into schools- some companies or schools will chose the women or minority out of a group of equally qualified applicants, or companies/ schools will make skin color or gender and actual qualification when applying for the job or school
Rewarding institutions that provide opportunity for the disadvantaged- this can be when the government offers these institutions grants to greater the education of minorities or the government can give subsidies to employers who hire disadvantaged
