SHEskilled – A holistic Upskilling initiative for immigrant women
2022-1-DE02-KA210-ADU-000081794
(Erasmus+ Small-scale partnerships in adult education)
The Project:
The project aims for the Upskilling and inclusion of immigrant women in society as useful and productive members.
For the achievement of the above aims, we intend to properly train Migrant Women, in ICT technologies and applications, in the hopes that the women who have an affinity for ICT will be able to start a career in the field, thus making them more attractive to the labour market and improving their confidence and self-worth. This will have as an additional result to help the Migrant Women become part of a growing market, since the need for ICT skills is ever growing, and give them the means to provide for themselves. We will also coach Migrant Women in job seeking and job interviews in order to increase their employability and better their chances at finding a job in the field they enjoy.
The members of the Migrant Women will be properly trained:
On Information and Communication Technologies
On Job Seeking
Target Group of the Project:
The target group of the project is “Migrant Women”, who will have access to professional training. They are a group of people who have no access to training and education systems and are very unlikely to become valuable and productive members of society, thus increasing the chances that they will be mistreated and marginalised. They will be trained properly on ICT technologies and applications in order to increase their employability and self-initiative.
The Objectives:
- To provide up-to-date and focused training to selective ex-prisoners as operators in printed archives digitalization, in order to give those certified skills to increase their chances as jobseekers after release.
- To cover an urgent and growing market need for certified properly qualified operators for digitalizing archives.
- To produce innovative vocational training material, exclusively designed for ex-prisoners, certified on ICT training, in order to function as a pilot –guide additional to the existing training programs throughout Europe.
- To encourage cooperation between the ex-prisoners communities throughout Europe with the vocational training institutions as long as well as employment opportunity institutions.
- To disseminate the results of the program in all European countries during the lifetime of the proposed project and at least 2 additional years beyond.
- To organize information days among partners in order to formulate the training material in accordance to the ex-prisoners needs.
- To organize at least one international conference among project partners, involving institutions that are providers of training, receivers of training, and selective labour market institutions in order to publicize the whole effort.
