The WomenBridges program provides:
-
Combined support (training, counseling, and mentoring) for women, in and out of the workplace, to achieve work-life balance.
-
Support to women’s careers and bridge opportunities for better/quality employment in a work environment and life more rewarding and positive.
-
A human-centered program to support women in developing their careers whether they want to enter or re-enter employment, or to do a professional change, be entrepreneurs, transform their hobby or idea into a business, or take their job to the next level to a senior role. All this is in balance with the personal life.
The WomenBridges Methodology Guide explains how the WomenBridges program works and how it can help organizations and specialists to develop an exhaustive support system for the women they are working within their communities, at the workplace, or in the circle of family and friends. Within this document, the partners in the WomenBridges project provide a framework of methodological guidelines, practical tools, and resources for combined support (training, counseling, and mentoring) to the target groups of women, in some cases directly at the workplace.
