On the 15th of September, 2018 we implemented the training “Without obstacles. The first step to the labor market” with the aim of promoting working opportunities of women in Armenia and Kyrgyzstan. The training was held in Articles 3 with the financial support of MitOst, together with Y-PEER Youth NGO in the frames of the program “Perspectives for youth” held by GIZ.
At the beginning of the training President of the “4FEM” Women’s Human Rights Defender NGO Mariam Kurshudyan presented the agenda of the training. We had a discussion on the productive methods of communication, working rights and specific features of work contract with international expert Janil. Janil arrived in Armenia in the frames of exchange program organized by our organization.
The co-founder of the NGO Nvard Minasyan presented how to compile an appropriate resume based on human rights. She presented thoroughly the secrets of compiling a competitive CV, then spoke about discrimination and obstacles in the process of finding a job.
The training was accompanied with simultaneous translation from Russian into Armenian and the opposite by the experienced translator Zara Harutyunyan.
The training was held with the principle of inclusion of all groups of women. We had participants not only from Yerevan, but also from marzes. The place was also fit for people having disabilities. We had also participants having listening and speaking disabilities. The simultaneous surdo translation was done by our experienced translator Gohar Melikyan for women with hearing disability.
We are thankful to the participants, GIZ, to all experts and NGO representatives and also to our volunteers Mane and Sirun for such a symbiotic cooperation.
