Women constitute 52% of the total European population, but only 34.4% of the EU self-employed and 30% of start-up entrepreneurs are women. At the same time, for a large majority of years and countries for which data are available, women record a higher unemployment rate than men. The problem its much bigger for women over 40 years old, as it is even harder for them to find a job and enter (or re-ender) to the labor market.For women over 40 years old job seekers, getting a job is a challenge. When someone has been unemployed for a long time, he/she may face additional negative assumptions. Put together gender, age and prolonged unemployment is something which makes women over 40 years old a disadvanged group of citizens. Concerns employers have about older and long-term unemployed women job seekers are:- skills are out-of-date- expertise is out-of-date- cost outweighs their value- hiring riskFor the above reasons, a solution which an increasing number of women is mentioning is for them to be self entrepreneurs, focusing in e-entrepreneurship.Partnership of the project is composed of the following organisations:- Ylä-Savo Vocational College (Finland)- Errotu (Spain)- Eurosuccess (Cyprus)- Letu (Lithuania)- p-consulting (Greece)- Patras Women Union (Greece)Main objectives of Win on-line project are:- Better understanding of women expectations & needs in learning environments, concerning new technology and e-entrepreneurship;- Improved knowledge & use of pedagogical tools, new technology in educating women over 40 years old with low digital and entrepreneurial skills;- Exchange of good practice among partners;- Create the basic theoretical foundations for the implementation of education of digital and entrepreneurial skills to low-skilled and/or low-qualified women over 40 years old;- Get to know low-skilled and/or low-qualified women over 40 years old, as an diverse group of adult learners for whom education is being prepared according to their needs and for them.Primary target groups of the project are women over 40 years old (focusing to unemployed women), with low digital and entrepreneurial skills who want to be e-entrepreneurs, and through Win on-line project will gain necessary knowledge and qualificatons, will develop key competences for eentrepreneurhsip and adopt practical skills for creating their e-company.Secondary target group of this project are adult training organisations, teacher/trainers, who will have the opportunity to adapt and implement an innovative training program especially focused to women e-entrepreneurship.Short description of the results:- Compendium of existing innovative and effective practices and tools for women e-entrepreneurship;- On-line training programme for women e-entrepreneurs;- Mentoring to women to be e-entrepreneurs;- Manual to become a mentor of e-entrepreneurship;- Video faiming at elevating the status of women e-entrepreneurship.Impact envisaged and the potential longer term benefits:- Created tools will remain within the work culture of the organisations involved and will become a new way to implement strategic actions aiming at strengthening the e-entrepreneurship for women (especialy women over 40 years old);- Training methodologies and tools will be available on the website and in the community of educational providers, women associations and organisations for entrepreneurship.
