Women back to work

Objective

OBJECTIVES
Research has shown that the main obstacle preventing women from returning to work is lack of confidence. Women represent a potentially vast resource of skilled labour. Constant and radical changes within the workplace, especially associated with new technology - and within the social and economic environment - present a major challenge with regard to the satisfactory utilisation of this potential. This project is designed to instil sufficient confidence in women to allow them either to apply for a job or to enter training. The project aims to encourage women wishing to return to work and to provide guidance on assertive career planning. The goal is to provide over 500 women with the ability and confidence to approach the business world.

ACTIVITIES
The partners will develop a common training programme and a network of interdependent courses across participating Member States. There will be a series of courses in each partner's region, i.e. four per year, four days per course. After each course there will be an assessment, and there will be a debriefing meeting at the end of the year.

PRODUCTS
A training programme will be jointly developed by all the partners. This will be constantly evaluated and adapted as necessary. A final version with comments will be developed at the end of the project, which can be used by all Member States as a guide for future courses and strategies for women wishing to return to work.
