PROMOTE High Skilled Ukrainian and Migrant Women

Objectives
PROMOTE enhances CVET educators’ comprehension of the career integration hurdles and prospects for highly skilled migrant women, including displaced Ukrainians. It facilitates meaningful integration into the labour market, and unlocks the full career potential and talent of some of Europe’s most skilled but vulnerable women. By 2026, PROMOTE will upskill over 50 VET educators and 75+ highly skilled Ukrainian and migrant women fostering a more inclusive and dynamic European workforce.

Activities
PROMOTE will identify and document the skills and labour market gaps of 75+ highly skilled migrant women across partner regions. The project will then develop and implement CVET skills enhancement programmes engaging highly skilled migrant women and employers in mentorship initiatives, WBL and Job Placement programmes across partner regions of Sweden, Ireland, Spain, Germany and Poland. Other key activities will include communication and project evaluation.

Impact
PROMOTE bridges the gap between the skills of highly skilled Ukrainian and migrant women and the needs of the labor market. For employers, the project unlocks an untapped reservoir of skills. Last year 80% of employers reported difficulty finding the talent they need. The project advances the work of partners who are committed and working towards better economic empowerment, social integration, and gender equality in Europe.
