There are fundamental knowledge, skills and competences every career practitioner, mentor, teacher and trainer needs to develop and improve in order to practice with due professional care and add value to people’s lives. There are also specific knowledge, skills and competences that build upon the acquired fundamental ones and that are required by the work with respective target groups and aiming at certain achievements.
Today we are happy to present to you Ladies First! Project that addresses such specific professional development. The project aims to empower teachers, trainers and counselors to support women beneficiaries in order to gain the necessary stability in-between working and personal life, especially in the framework of crisis.
Based on two successful initiatives, 7 partner organizations (Counselling NGO’s, research centers and VET providers, companies and social partners) from 6 countries (Greece, Cyprus, France, Portugal, Bulgaria and Italy) work together to develop Ladies First! Project in order to define common strategies to address work life balance for women in Europe.
