Abstract

ABSTRACT
In this paper we analyze the barriers perceived by a group of adult women with low qualification, who want to get into the labour market from the occupational vocational training. The results show how personal, academic-formative, professional and contextual aspects, that characterize the life project of women, are associated to gender stereotypes. Women felt these factors like barriers or obstacles to their access to job and to the fullfiment of their professional projects. Being aware of these barriers will help us to improve this training process to remove gender obstacle.
