Supporting migrant women to navigate skills recognition, professional accreditation and employment pathways

Migrant women bring significant skills, qualifications and professional experience to Australia, yet many face complex and intersecting barriers to workforce participation.

WESP addresses this gap through specialised, gender-responsive support in navigating skills recognition and professional accreditation towards relevant employment. WESP helps migrant women explore pathways towards work that better matches their skills and experience.

Supported by Minderoo Foundation, WESP is aligned with the SSI-led Activate Australia’s Skills Campaign, working to improve the skills and qualifications recognition system to improve outcomes for the community and the economy.
