The economic and social crisis that Europe is facing has led to a sharp decline in economic activity and recession. The labor market is being severely hit and unemployment rates are increasing negatively affecting the EU’s potential growth. Unemployment is particularly high among women and young people and this situation is exacerbated among migrant women and women at risk of social exclusion. In addition, these groups are more vulnerable because of issues related to work-life balance, limited availability for training and access to resources.
In this scenario, the aim is for Europe to become a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy. Inclusive means, among others, raising Europe’s employment rates and helping people with fewer opportunities of all ages manage change through investment in skills and training.
WhomeN project arises from the necessity to develop new approaches aiming at the construction of professional competence of women at risk of social exclusion. It aims at improving qualification and access to job opportunities given to women at risk of social exclusion, focusing in two target groups: migrant and refugee women and +45 women. The project will develop activities and materials to improve methods to acquire and recognize skills and to create more opportunities to integrate labour market.
