Following you will find everything regarding our project. GUIDE is an Erasmus+ KA2 project that lasts 36 months. Our project recently began its journey, on November 2022, and its implementation will end in October 2025.
The aim.
GUIDE project focuses on the issue of gender and career development and the continuing barriers to achieving equality of opportunity in this area. For this purpose, it is important Career Guidance Professionals (CGP) to adopt a gender sensitive approach and avoid using stereotypes when supporting individuals in making their career decisions.
The project aims to help career counselors to move away from biases based on traditional roles which can limit choices so as to ensure that equal opportunities are offered to all genders without taping the human talent and resources. It is important to ensure that all genders are enabled to choose among opportunities on the basis of interest and ability rather than gender.
