Career Reintegration for Migrant and Ukrainian Women

Curriculum A has been developed within the PROMOTE project to support highly skilled migrant women and Ukrainian women in rebuilding their professional pathways and strengthening their labour market integration across Europe.

The curriculum combines practical employability training with confidence-building, career orientation, digital and green skills awareness, and workplace integration strategies. It recognises that many migrant women and Ukrainian women already possess significant professional experience, qualifications, and transferable competences, but may face barriers related to qualification recognition, language, unfamiliar labour market systems, disrupted career pathways, displacement, or reduced professional visibility.

Through a structured and reflective learning approach, participants are supported in identifying their existing strengths, translating their experience into locally understandable professional language, and developing realistic and strategic career pathways in the European labour market.

The curriculum also addresses the emotional and social dimensions of professional reintegration, including confidence, resilience, networking, mentorship, workplace communication, and navigating new professional cultures, particularly in the context of migration and displacement experiences.

Curriculum Structure

Module 1 - My Skills, My Story: Mapping My Qualifications and Career

This module supports participants in identifying and mapping their existing competences, qualifications, and professional experience. It introduces recognition systems within the European context, career pathway mapping, skills translation, navigating bureaucratic processes, and managing emotional barriers connected to migration, displacement, and career transition.

Module 2 - Making Digital and Green Skills Work for Me

This module focuses on understanding digital and green competences within the context of the EU Twin Transition. Participants explore how their existing skills align with emerging labour market needs, how to position themselves strategically within evolving sectors, and how to translate previous experience into employer-oriented competency language.

The module also encourages participants to recognise the value of international experience, adaptability, multilingualism, and resilience as strengths within rapidly changing labour markets.

Module 3 - Owning My Career Path: Confidence, Communication and Career Networks

This module strengthens confidence, professional communication, interview preparation, networking skills, and mentorship awareness. Participants develop practical strategies for presenting their professional value, building career networks, and navigating recruitment processes in a new labour market environment.

Special attention is given to rebuilding professional confidence and visibility among migrant and Ukrainian women whose careers may have been interrupted by migration or displacement.

Module 4 - Building My Future Here: Succeeding in My New Workplace

This module focuses on workplace integration, communication, resilience, informal workplace cultures, and professional adaptation. Participants explore workplace expectations, feedback culture, stress management, workplace support systems, and strategies for building confidence and belonging in a new professional context.

The module supports long-term inclusion and sustainable professional integration within European workplaces.
