Summary of project results

The necessity of the project is marked through the slow pace of incorporation of women in the labor market which has marked the challenges in the economic analysis and social reality. The project aimed at achieving social and professional integration of women belonging to particularly vulnerable groups. These objectives have been achieved through social inclusion of the women in question, as well as increasing their capacity with regards to their technical skills. In order to attain this, the women participating in the project have been involved through continued participation in a range of activities. Starting, and for some increasing their already existing knowledge of computer literacy has been the main benefit for the participants. Their knowledge will be maintained through their utilization of their new founded skills in a job placement.

Summary of bilateral results
