Worldplaces - working with migrant women

We're the first EU network bringing together

two halves of the female working world,

those who are accessing a new job market and those who already are part of it.

Worldplaces project is aiming at scaling good practices and services

to redifine more inclusive labor markets for low-formal skilled refugees and migrant women.

there's magic in every beginning

A new worklplace marks a new beginning - a turning point.

That's even more true for newcomers.

In migrants' life, workplaces are more than a gateway to economic stability:

they can be formidable integration hubs.

However, workplaces are not equally accessible for everyone -

migrant women with less recognized formal skills are most at risk of

employment segregation.

two halves don't have to bE Perfect

to make one whole

It is clear that non-profit and private sector do not hold in their hands the 100% of the solution for a more effective migrant women’s integration.

Worldplaces offers a space for imagining and sharing joint solutions and approaches that will allow workplaces in the private sector to become more inclusive and accessible.

At local levels, not for profit organisations and the public sector are the ones providing assistance, vocational training and placements to less skilled migrant women, while the private sectors offers the jobs opportunities.

Meet the ambassadors

Ambassadors of Worldplaces are migrant and non migrant women, already established in the job market that help us to facilitate the bridging of the two halves: the profit and non profit sectors.

We want to see them become champions and ambassadors of workplaces

that are open to the world, and are able to spot and develop talents - even the less visible ones - those of migrant women, especially of most vulnerable and less formally qualified ones.
