Skills4Women is an Erasmus+ co-funded programme aimed at upskilling disadvantaged, migrant and refugee women with vital skills required for integration and to gain employment within the countries they currently reside.

Everyone should have an equal chance when trying to gain employment, no matter their background, whether this be gender, age, etc. The objectives of the Skills4Women programme are to provide unemployed women, especially but not limited to disadvantaged, migrant and refugees, with the skills, knowledge and confidence they need in order to gain employment within the country they are currently living in. This can be harder for migrants and refugees as they are often not familiar with the employment sector within their new country and new culture.

The objectives achieved through this project include social integration, promoting inclusion and diversity, developing skills, and helping migrants and refugees overcome barriers in their new country by providing the necessary materials for employment.


This programme aims to equip participants with the fundamental skills needed to successfully integrate into the workforce and society of their host country. The course content addresses language and work skills, cultural understanding and economic literacy. Each woman will gain many benefits, such as:

- Practical language skills for effective communication in everyday situations and professional environments.

- Cultural awareness and understanding to navigate and approach the new community with confidence.

- Basic job search strategies, including CV writing, interview preparation and networking.

- Valuable knowledge of financial management, budgeting and achieving financial stability.
