A new project titled “Raising competences of hard-to-employ women” has been launched with support from the Slovak Agency for International Development Cooperation and financially backed by the Government of Slovakia. The financing agreement was signed last week at the Embassy of Slovakia in Serbia.
The project aims to provide employment opportunities for women in the field of social protection by developing their professional skills and capacities for providing home care services. Help Net is the copyright holder of the program titled “Training Program for Home Caregivers for Providing Home Care Services for the Elderly and Disabled Persons”, which is accredited by the Republic Institute for Social Protection.
The project plan includes two four-day training sessions for acquiring professional skills in providing home care services. The target number of participants is 30 women from hard-to-employ groups in two Belgrade municipalities – Čukarica and Palilula – which will improve the participants’ position in the labor market and enable them to seek employment in a field with a direct need for qualified professionals. Successful completion of the training program leads to obtaining a valid certificate for working in the social protection field.
Over the course of 6 months, the most suitable training participants, aged between 20 and 55, with completed primary or secondary education, and residing in the two mentioned municipalities, will be identified and selected for the program.
