You're going to hear two people talking about a program that retrains women for computer jobs. What are the five categories of people who take this program and Why? Complete the chart with key words.

Ivy Miller interviews Kate Bellow about a program that retains women for computer jobs. And Why.
We've kind of gone over the range, but could you tell us who generally takes this program? You have 30 students, you get to know them, I guess, fairly well. Who...who are these people?
Basically they fall into, I would say, five categories. We still have the reentry women, the women who's been at home, raising her kids, and has decided she needs to or wants to go back to work.
I was in that category when I went through the program, I am a graduate of the program.
Then we have people who have jobs. They are dead-end jobs, they're not using their intelligence, and they really want a career with a lot more earning potential.
We get people who have careers, their first career, the things that they were trained for, they are teachers, nurses, med techs, and they're totally burned out, and they're looking for some kind of transition into another industry.
We also get those who are seeing their industry dry up and shrink. I get a lot of people out of the oil patch, petroleum engineers and geophysicists who say, "Hey, I don't want to move to Houston. I'd like to stay in Denver."
Hong Kong. Right. And so they're... they have decided that they want to transition into the computer industry.
And then we also get some people who're really happy in their jobs, they're doing exactly what they want except because the computer is taking over, they need to gain more computer expertise in order to advance, and so they're planing on staying in their jobs.
