ACE worked with FEMPOWER as a transnational partner. The common objectives of the DPs were:

• Combating unemployment amongst:

• Women and men with children.
  
  
• Carers: carers look after family, partners or friends in need of help because they are ill, frail or disabled. The care they provide is unpaid.
  
  
• Raising awareness of the need to reconcile work and family life to enable beneficiaries to take up sustainable training and employment opportunities
  
  
• Test support mechanisms to promote participation of target groups in the labour market
  
  
• The development of a pre-vocational training system to provide a route into sustainable employment
  
  
• Raising awareness with policy makers and service providers of target groups in order to promote their inclusion in mainstream support services
  
  
• Raising the profile of women and carers as potential employees and promoting their career progression

Outputs and products of the partnership include:

• Pre-vocational training systems for target groups.
  
  
• Training on reconciliation of work and family life for beneficiaries, employers and service providers.
  
  
• Toolkits for employers to develop flexible working.
  
  
• Methods for empowering target groups, including mentoring schemes.
  
  
• Joint analysis of experience in innovative approaches.
  
  
• Joint reports on good practice for dissemination.
