GENDERATE

DURATION:

2023-2025

MAIN OBJECTIVE:

GENDERATE aims to foster gender mainstreaming in VET institutions, increase female participation in higher VET education levels, raise awareness on the gender disparities that exist in VET and enhance the social image of technical education to fight gender stereotypes regarding “male” and “female” professions.

The project is designed to address different target groups through its actions: the leadership of the VET organisations, able to initiate and apply concrete institutional changes, female students that consider VET as a future option but have often no support to guide them through, and the general public, parents and enterprises that affect essentially the VET sector.

Training webinars for the mentors
Info days in VET providers
