HIGHLIGHTS

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.

What will be improved?

  • During the project, the INTERNISA network will foster the hiring of 400 women trained in digital skills through short-term crowd working & traineeships and long-term full-time jobs.
