FRO Curriculum meets the need for increased professional qualifications amongst teachers and trainers in VET within the field of gender equality and reconciliation policies in Portugal and other EU member states. Increased qualifications will enable teachers and trainers to offer adequate training for enterprises focusing on management systems for gender equality and Family Responsible Organisations (FRO). European enterprises, especially SMEs, are faced with growing global competition requiring new knowledge, skills and policies. Studies have shown the correlation between gender equality, family friendly policies and profitability in enterprises. Gender equality has also been acknowledged as a “necessary condition for the achievement of the EU objectives of growth, employment and social cohesion”. VET is an important tool for reinforcing the implementation of management systems for gender equality but there is a lack of training offers in this field for SMEs, their entrepreneurs and managers. This can partly be explained by the fact that few teachers and trainers have the necessary knowledge and awareness of how work life balance influences equal opportunities and this project is a step towards changing that fact.
