PONToon, an Interreg France (Channel) England project has already enabled more than 1460 women from the south of England and the north of France to acquire skills and/or find employment. A digital toolkit has been created and a lot of knowledge has been shared to help them. You were able to discover these resources and the tools used during the virtual event on 21 January 2021. This event did bring together partners, stakeholders, associates, actors and beneficiaries of continuing education and training, in order to allow you to discover the actions carried out within the framework of the PONToon project. Local actors in the fields of training, employment and entrepreneurship were also present for this fabulous day !
