In light of the much-discussed shortage of skilled workers, qualified women are a highly desirable labour market commodity. However, two things are required in order to make better use of this resource – individual support provision for women after a period of time spent looking after their family and the improvement of general structural conditions in order to achieve successful re-entry to the labour market. One of the many projects currently working on this is “Re-entry Perspective”, which is taking place at the Göttingen Osterode gGmbH Adult Education Centre.
