RIDE – Reach inclusion through Digital Empowerment for migrant women

ended

The RIDE project aims at including migrant and refugee women into the digital labour market giving them the possibility to re-skilling or upskilling in the digital sector by specially designed courses and trainings enabling them to start working. A major part of the project will be dedicated to preparing them for the labour market in the host country and to raise the awareness about women rights in the host society. The project involves 7 countries (BE, BG, CZ, DE, EL, IT, NL ) and 8 local and international organizations. RIDE will be framed as a three-fold stages project: 1) Collaborative drawing of a booklet of guidelines to implement the entire process behind the project: mentorship and coaching sessions, training offers, Job Placements Fairs and matching with private companies and social businesses. This phase foresees a first preliminary study of the labour market and context in each country to allow the training offer to be consistent and coherent with the major market trends in Europe. 2) Recruitment of the participants trough National Info Days and Recruitment Sessions to get to the heart of the project. During the sessions a first skills assessment of the participants will be conducted. Individual coaching and group sessions on social inclusion and women’ rights as well as labour market integration in the host country in form of a generic preparation on the one hand and specific job-related preparation through ICT trainings on the other; 3) Contacting and meeting local and international private and social companies through local Job Placement Fairs. This phase will be intertwined with the other two as an outreaching of all the potential interested companies will be done during the entire duration of the project. Each local partner organization will create its own network of companies, opening the door to the replicability of the pilot project beyond the end of the grant.
