   • Engineering & Manufacturing is the largest field at 36.8% (even higher than in Austria)
   • Business & Administration ranks second at 19.2%
   • Mining & Materials Processing is notably significant at 14.6%, reflecting the region’s industrial heritage
   • Information Technology represents 9.7% of graduates
2. Gender Distribution by Field (right chart):

   • Reveals even stronger gender disparities than in Austria:
     • Engineering & Manufacturing: 90.5% male (vs. 87.2% in Austria)
     • Mining & Materials Processing: 88.7% male
     • Information Technology: 84.2% male
   • Care-oriented fields are predominantly female:
     • Health & Social Care: 83.7% female
   • Overall gender balance is more male-dominated than in Austria (62.4% male vs. 56.2% in Austria)

Key differences compared to Austria:

• The stronger focus on Engineering & Manufacturing
• The presence of Mining & Materials Processing as a significant field (reflecting the region’s industrial base)
• More pronounced gender segregation across fields
• Higher overall proportion of male graduates

This visualization highlights the industrial orientation of vocational education in the Severozápad region and suggests that traditional gender roles in education choices may be more pronounced than in Austria.
