Measures for counselling and qualification of women interested in start-ups are promoted before and during the start-up phase. The participants should be prepared for the founding decision and realisation. The measures must be appropriate in terms of gender and labour market policy and tailored to the participants’ personal and professional aptitudes. Support is provided for the pre-advising of women interested in start-up, the acquisition of participants for women-specific start-up courses, the courses themselves and for counselling and coaching modules specifically tailored to female start-ups. The target group are those interested in starting up, unemployed or job-seeking participants as well as women whose self-employment has not yet become firmly established._x000D_ The aim of the project is to continue the support process in the field of self-employment for women in a target group-oriented manner. On the one hand, for women who want to start up or are already in the process of founding, on the other hand for those already active on the market. It aims to prepare start-ups in a sound manner, to establish networks, to enter into cooperation and to realise joint activities, for example, in sales, advertising or the common use of human resources. Personnel development and rebalancing, professionalisation and growth are key words of the support process. The participants acquire skills to succeed as an entrepreneur on the market._x000D_
