Femme Forward is a forward-looking project targeting the low representation of women in digital jobs and start-ups. Through an innovative and comprehensive training programme, women with various backgrounds will be empowered to either start a career in tech or employ their experience and knowledge to set up a tech start-up. The Femme Forward consortium is a partnership of 15 stakeholders led by Simplon.co (SIMPLON.CO), bringing together key industry, technology and education stakeholders in Europe. Each participant in the project has a well-defined role and contributes to achieving a qualitative and comprehensive partnership. The consortium will work to identify, develop and pilot high-quality digital education content that will tackle the current gender gap in the digital economy, enabling at least 500 women to start on the track to tech employment or entrepreneurship. The project will be delivered across 8 interconnected work packages, during which 23 outputs will be delivered over 24 months.Femme Forward will support women with various backgrounds with a special focus on: migrants and refugees whose qualifications are not recognized in the EU; professionals and women who want to change careers for better job prospects; young graduates from non-tech degrees who want to move into tech positions; women who have a tech business idea and want to make it a reality; women re-entering the labor market after maternity, etc.At the end of the project, we will have created an easy to use and extensive repository of tested, high-quality educational materials, available in multiple languages, and on a multi-device compatible learning platform.
