Presentation:
WECAN is a strategic partnership (Erasmus +, Key Action 2) coordinated by France.
The 2008 crisis and the austerity measures taken afterwards have caused high unemployment rates in the European economies. Still today the group aged 30-45 is facing the main barriers to (re)enter the labour market. Generally, women’s enterprises have lower growth expectations and higher rates of discontinuance. WECAN will boost women’s entrepreneurial capacity, empowering the would-be entrepreneurs or those with a newly established business. WECAN will increase quality Adult Education provision to adult women out of employment thanks to an innovative coaching programme that will equip new coaches with updated and relevant methods and tools to support, empower and encourage female entrepreneurial activity.
