The aim of the project is to create tools and work out a working method for youth workers and popularize them in order to encourage girls and young women to work in masculinized professions (i.e. those considered stereotypically performed by men), and thus - to improve their situation on the market work.
Choosing a career, teenage girls often reject masculinized occupations (those in which there are more men than women, or are considered "masculine" in the social consciousness). This applies to both vocational and higher education. Girls do not take these occupations into account, despite the fact that they are in greater demand on the labor market and are associated with better wages, as research shows. This is due to the stereotypes young women encounter from an early age. Due to their beliefs about their own abilities and predispositions (deepened by the formal education system), they have a very limited career path. Young women, after graduating from education, decide to take up a profession that requires them to give up one of the social roles assigned to women (responsibility for running a home, raising children, caring for parents, etc.). This project was created to provide people working with girls and young women with tools that will respond to this problem.
