Empowering female newcomers to enter the labour market.
She Matters is a social enterprise recruitment agency empowering women who have a refugee or forced migration background.Omschrijving
We carefully select up to 8-10 women who are ready and determined to enter the labour market. Based on their education, skills and prior work experience, we place them into part-time traineeships. So they practice their existing skills and learn new ones. They also improve their Dutch and increase their network. The purpose of the traineeship is for the employer and trainee to 'try out' the position and determine whether it is a match for employment.In addition to the traineeship, she attends our weekly workshops on hard & soft skills and emotional and psychosocial support. She's also matched with a mentor who provides practical support on her employment journey, and most importantly, friendship and camaraderie.
At the conclusion of the programme, the employer determines whether the trainee will be hired. Even if she's not hired, she still received real work experience, valuable knowledge and skills. And she increased her self-confidence – a massive step to her dream job!
