The program “Bridging the Gap” aims to support and empower people who do not have equal opportunities to access work, with a particular focus on unemployed women from socially vulnerable backgrounds (e.g. women with mental health problems, medical conditions, single-parent families, survivors of gender-based violence, long-term unemployed, young women who do not study and do not work, immigrants), in order to join the labour market through the development of a network of employers throughout Greece. The main goal of the program is to bridge the needs of the private sector and the needs for employment of people coming from specific social groups. In addition to the direct beneficiaries, the dependent members of the unemployed women will be benefited as well through the project.

The program “Bridging the Gap” started in October 2023 with a duration of twelve months.

The program is implemented with the support of Alpha Bank.
