INTERNISA

Project

About

The territories involved in the ENI CBC Med Programme suffer from high unemployment rate and low participation of women in the labour market. At the same time, job growth is hindered by the low penetration of digital innovation in Mediterranean territories which hampers the capacity of small enterprises to find access to know-how or venture capital for innovation. With the aim of providing training in digital skills to women and know-how about digitalization approaches to businesspeople, INTERNISA will combine training in the digital sector with professional development in the agri-food, textile, tourism and financial sectors.

To reach its objective, the project will develop online and offline services addressed to women and employers providing training curricula and personal consulting. Project activities will culminate with interventions related to match-making of labour demand and supply through an online platform and job fairs to foster contacts among job seekers and employers.

Objective

To bridge the digital gender gap and provide marketable digital skills in Mediterranean territories by developing a network and a portal that brings closer the demand and supply of the labour market, providing women with digital skills, and delivering professional training in the agri-food, financial, textile, and tourism sectors.

Who will benefit?

1,000 women and NEETs with free access to training resources on digital skills
800 businesses operating in the agri-food, tourism, textile and financial sectors
50 public sector employees offering policy knowledge on digitalization and women’s empowerment

EXPECTED ACHIEVEMENTS

400 women trained in digital skills hired
9 sets of online and offline training based on digital skills and innovations
1 online portal including labour supply and demand match-making mechanism and 1 mobile app
1 info point to access offline advising

CONTRIBUTION TO POLICY-MAKING

Public authorities, through training packages and seminars, will provide their members with know-how on how to apply good policies for promoting women’s employment and digitalisation. The development of online and offline training curricula and tools will facilitate knowledge, skills development of public sector employees. Finally, the project will develop a series of policy recommendations to foster professionalization of women through digital skills..

What will be improved?

During the project, the INTERNISA network will foster the hiring of 400 women trained in digital skills through short-term crowdworking & traineeships and long-term full-time jobs. INTERNISA’s impact is to provide an inexpensive and sustainable mechanism to ensure that businesspeople, women and public authorities have access to training and know-how to develop their digital skills.
