Webinar: Supporting immigrant women to be included in the labour market
The Swedish ESF-Council welcome you to this webinar about immigrant women’s inclusion in the labour market.
In general, unemployment is higher among foreign-born women in Europe compared to other target groups. Join and learn how four ESF-funded projects from Sweden, Finland and Germany are helping immigrant women finding a job, becoming self-sufficient or getting closer to the labour market.
This webinar is for you who are interested to know more about ESF+, transnational collaborations and the new initiative within the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region: BSR Integrate Now. For example: if you are working in an ESF-funded project, at a managing authority for ESF+ or in other organisations that meet immigrant women.
