- The aim of the initiative is the social inclusion of women with disabilities by improving their employment opportunities in new employment areas in the areas of the European Union participating in the project.
The European programme Ready Women, co-financed by Erasmus+ of the European Union, and developed by the Provincial Federation of Associations of People with Physical and Organic Disabilities of Seville (COCEMFE Seville) together with entities from seven other countries, launches its portal in eight languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Greek, Turkish, Bulgarian and Latvian), free of charge for all women participating in the project.
Ready Women Training will offer new methodologies and tools to facilitate access, assessment and development of competences for the labour context, mainly through training contents related to new employment opportunities and emerging sectors.
The portal is an interactive tool that aims to offer innovative opportunities and instruments to women with physical and sensory disabilities, in order to improve their qualification and employability levels. It is addressed to all participants from Italy, Latvia, Greece, Bulgaria, Portugal, Turkey and Spain.
The launch of Ready Women Training is the continuation of an ambitious programme in Europe dedicated to disability in which EUROKOM, Istituto dei sordi di Torino, Aldo Moro’s University of Bari in Italy; Ecological Future Education in Latvia; ERFC in Greece; EYES Association in Bulgaria; PREVIFORM in Portugal; SEADDER and Istanbul Gelisim University in Turkey; and COCEMFE Seville in Spain are working together.
Encarnación Barrera, European programmes technician at COCEMFE Seville argues that “tools such as the Ready Women Training portal represent a further step towards access to employment for women who, due to their low qualifications, are unable to enter the labour market under equal conditions”.
