Who Is the My Turn Project for?

The My Turn – Women and Work project is aimed at migrant women from Karl­sruhe and the sur­round­ing region who want to enter or re-enter employment.

Fund­ed by the ESF Plus pro­gram “MY TURN – Women with Migra­tion Expe­ri­ence Get Start­ed”, the project sup­ports women in devel­op­ing a pro­fes­sion­al future based on their indi­vid­ual strengths, skills, and goals.

Our tar­get group includes in par­tic­u­lar new­ly arrived women who:

• have suf­fi­cient Ger­man lan­guage skills
• do not yet hold a rec­og­nized voca­tion­al qual­i­fi­ca­tion in Germany
• or have not been employed for at least four years

Through indi­vid­ual coun­sel­ing and group work­shops, we pro­mote long-term inte­gra­tion into the Ger­man labor mar­ket.
