Promotion of Women in the Labor Market Sector

The initiative Promoting Women in the Labor Market in the state of Salzburg provides clubs and interest groups with an ongoing grant opportunity to support women through individualized counseling services. The focus is on all aspects related to employment, education and training, re-entry into the workforce, as well as balancing career and family life. Tailored measures sustainably improve earning potential, while participants can develop concrete professional prospects in the regional labor market. The diversity of topics also includes social law counseling and support with business financing, ensuring a holistic approach to new employment fields. Additionally, providers benefit from a regional network that promotes the exchange of experiences and further develops best practice models.

Funding is provided to non-profit associations based in Salzburg that guarantee professional service delivery in the aforementioned areas. Applications can be submitted at any time – there is no fixed deadline. For a complete submission, the completed application form and a detailed concept of the funding subject must be provided. Activity reports on the implemented measures, proof of expenditure, and appropriate invoices are also required for accounting purposes. The funds, in the form of grants, are awarded based on the General Funding Guidelines of the State of Salzburg and are provided by the State of Salzburg as well as the City of Salzburg. This gives club and interest group representatives a reliable foundation to establish their counseling services in the long term and to sustainably support women in the transition between family and career.
