The main aim of the project is to create a 11+1 online programme to support women in developing a set of competences and a proper mindset to restart their career, increasing inclusion of women in education and training, promoting their access to the labor market, improve the quality of their career and reduce the gender gap in the labor market.

We created ReStart Your Career to promote and spread among women a concept of career that focuses on passions, talents, desires, inspirations, ambitions and self-realisation. Supporting Women’s empowerment and career development training course and mentoring programme is designed for adult educators social workers, coaches, counselor, psychologists and other helping professions. It involves 4 organisations: Work in Progress (Italy), Animam Viventem (Portugal), Youth Hellenic Participation (Greece) and EIP (France). From Greece, Italy and Portugal, 9 adult educators, coaches, counsellors, psychologists, social workers and other helping professionals were all involved. They are all women who work with women, supporting their empowerment process and their career development process. 

The objectives of Restart your career are: 
*To be a conversation starter and to promote among women a concept of career that focuses on passions, talents, desires, inspirations and ambition. This is specifically important because it brings several consequences. Building a career focused on satisfaction and self-actualisation leads to higher income and to a lesser desire to leave a good workplace 
*To improve the access of women to quality and innovative education, that respects their time management and are enough flexible to adapt to the needs of the target groups
