The EMPOWERING project (EMPOWERING – EmpoweRING M-women in industry) is dedicated to millennial women (born between 1980 and 1995) working in the manufacturing industry, with the mission of supporting their professional education, skill enhancement, and career development opportunities. Our aim is not only to strengthen your position in the industry but also to promote European collaboration and networking, which are key to achieving success in today’s world.
A standout feature of the EMPOWERING project is its commitment to inclusivity and wide reach. All project results and resources are available in seven languages (English, French, Macedonian, Italian, Polish, Norwegian, Ukrainian) to ensure that a diverse range of participants can access and benefit from the project’s offerings. This multilingual approach significantly broadens the project’s impact, catering to the needs of women from various linguistic backgrounds and fostering a more inclusive environment.
EMPOWERING project is an innovative initiative, driven by a consortium of five experienced European organizations, each bringing their unique expertise in adult education, women’s empowerment, and new technologies. This collaborative effort includes:
- IPRA/MEDEF from France.
- Fundacja Digital Creators from Poland.
- Confindustria Toscana Servizi from Italy.
- European Centre For Women And Technology from Norway.
- Foundation for Management and Industrial Research from Macedonia.
