Motherhood often brings with it interruptions to career growth. Returning to work or starting a business after taking time off to care for their families can be challenging for many mothers. The MothersCan project is designed to help mothers overcome these obstacles, offering practical support and new opportunities to rebuild their careers or launch their own businesses. By focusing on helping mothers who have fewer opportunities, MothersCan provides training that helps mothers thrive professionally while managing their family responsibilities.

Challenges Faced by Mothers Returning to Work

Mothers re-entering the workforce face various challenges, from outdated skills to low confidence. Many find their previous experience is no longer enough in today’s job market, which has evolved during their career break. Job opportunities that offer flexibility are limited, making it hard for mothers to find suitable work. The MothersCan project aims to tackle these issues directly by giving mothers tailored education and support to regain their confidence and career skills.

How MothersCan Helps Mothers Re-Enter the Job Market

The MothersCan project provides various services to support mothers wanting to restart their careers. Here are the key ways that MothersCan helps mothers:

• Targeted Education: The project offers tailored courses to help mothers learn the skills needed to succeed in today’s workforce. These courses cover everything from entrepreneurship to financial literacy.
• Flexible Learning Options: Courses are designed to fit around a mother’s schedule, giving participants the flexibility to learn at their own pace when they can.
• Mentorship Programs: The MothersCan project also provides mentorship to keep mothers motivated and help them stay on track as they progress through their courses and beyond.

MothersCan’s goal is to ensure that mothers can transition smoothly back into the workforce or into new ventures, giving them the confidence to pursue their goals without compromising on their family obligations.
