The WOMBACK project addresses the issue of vocational training for women that having partially or totally left the labour market, normally for familial reasons, attempt to return only to find their skills obsolete. The project will propose an adaptation of VET methods, approaches and tools to specifically meet the needs of this target group. Activities will include a comparative analysis of the situation of the target group across the partner countries and of existing support services provided to the target group (to include vocational training and guidance/counselling), the identification of examples of good practice in working with the target group and the development of a series of proposals for the improvement of VET and guidance services for women returners. In undertaking these activities, project partners will discuss their findings with organisations currently active in the provision of support, guidance/counselling and vocational training to the target group. In developing it’s recommendations for improvement, the partnership will establish national working groups in each of the participating countries to fully debate and build upon the findings of the analyses and to finalise it’s recommendations, which will be presented in the form of a final project report (reference material). In addition to the final project report, the results of the individual analyses will each be made available, in all partner languages and in English, via individual partner websites. Dissemination will primarily focus upon the presentation of the project results and recommendations to policy and decision makers responsible for the provision of VET and guidance/counselling to women returning to the labour market, for which a series of seminars/information days and a final project seminar will be held.
