EmpowerHer: Inclusive Pathways for Skills Development of Migrant Women for Integration into the Labour Market
Our organisation coordinates the EmpowerHer project as part of Erasmus+, with the goal to encourage social inclusion through skills development and establish welcoming onboarding environments especially for migrant women.
There are 6 participating organizations and centres from 5 countries in this project: Germany, France, Cyprus (COMCY), Spain and Portugal.
Objectives:
The main goals of the project are to:
- Offer specialized educational resources and training that focus on the unique experiences of migrant women, promoting both immediate employability and long-term growth.
- Bridge the skills gap that migrant women may encounter in a new Labor market, focusing on developing targeted upskilling and reskilling pathways
- Improve the competences of educators and guidance staff in using relevant tools and materials.
- Facilitate communication between businesses, governments, NGOs, and educational institutions to create inclusive onboarding environments for migrant women.
- Promote inclusive hiring and challenge stereotypes through awareness campaigns, focusing on respect and equality both at work and in society.
Target groups:
- Migrant women
- Adult educators (professionals, or volunteers)
- Employers (e.g., managers, HR experts)
Outputs:
- The design of a training program and educational resources for the support of adult educators in guiding migrant women in soft skills and employability.

- The development of an onborading toolbox for labor market stakeholders in order to support an inclusive work environment
