Objective
The situation regarding continuing training for women is an unsatisfactory one throughout Europe. The continuing training programmes on offer lack transparency, are badly co-ordinated and, above all, are not well geared to the training requirements and learning situations of women. Women with small children are especially affected by this situation. Instead of opening up their professional prospects via training, they are frequently subjected to de-qualification processes. The aim of this project is to develop qualitative success criteria for re-integrating women into professional life and providing them with training opportunities. This will ensue on the basis of regional learning models, through which experience will be exchanged and transferred within the transnational partnerships, in the sense of regions learning from each other. This will facilitate examination of the transferability of qualitative, regionally related success criteria.
The conditions for women participating more extensively on the supply as well as the demand side will be clarified through qualitative access to research. With regard to the supply side, the intention is to create regional transparency of continuing training programmes as well as indicate training requirements that are not being met. The objective in this regard is to initiate regional learning models that will become the accepted thing. On the demand side, the idea is to extend professional prospects by means of a subject-oriented research approach based on the living situations and needs of women as well as develop subjectively practicable occupational prospects through qualified re-entry onto the labour market. Three regional analyses concerning the continuing training situation of women (statistical survey and documentation analysis), surveys of regional experts, as well as scientific monitoring and evaluation of regional activities are to be conducted in association with each other and concepts drawn up for regional learning models. The project will help, at European level, to initiate an exchange of regional learning experiences within the European partnerships.
Impact
The study contributes towards identifying problems concerning the re-integration of women into the labour market. This promotes equal opportunities for women and men at pan-European level and improves the access of women to the labour market.
