The main aim of this project was exchange of best practices and knowledge on workplace inclusion between mentors working with women with disabilities from partner countries. The European continent is aging. The average age of Europeans is about 40 years of age. Changes in the age structure of Europe increases the number of people with disabilities. Workplace inclusion thru mentoring was learning partnership between employees for the exchange of technical information, knowledge and skills about a specific profession or a particular job position. With the introduction of a mentoring programme, companies can guarantee that their employees can work fully with their knowledge and position. By learning in the workplace we mean to train persons with disability in all the skills needed to develop and fulfil their tasks at the workplace. The trained skills are within these five areas: Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Task Development, Environment and Management. With this project we intend to upgrade the skills and competences of mentors in order to enhance workplace inclusion of women with disabilities.
