European Social Services Entail Immigrants Alliance

The project will target some of the most marginalised workers in the EU, namely, immigrant women from non-EU countries and eastern European candidate countries. Most of these women are employed domestically by EU-citizens in health and social service-related work. The project aims to recognise their working situation and conditions and in so doing, create female-led opportunities for self-improvement through VET. Each project partner will produce a report detailing 'best practice' in their country in consideration of training offered to, and required by, female immigrants. A communication campaign will be launched in each of the partner countries, aimed at immigrant women, to alert them to training opportunities. Practical vocational training courses will be offered to selected groups of women in the partner countries. A range of exploratory tools, directly applied to immigrant women, will inform the final content of training courses and of information campaigns, to include women photographing their working conditions/communities, a 'competence biography' consisting of women's self-evaluation of their working skills and an external evaluation of these identified skills. Project results will be disseminated to local authorities and training centres via the internet and on CD-Rom. A manual will be produced on how to initiate a local communication campaign to encourage immigrant women to undergo VET and guidelines will be produced concerning appropriate VET advice for immigrant women working in social/domestic services.
