IPSI is a European project funded by the Erasmus+ Programme (KA210 – Small-scale Partnerships in Adult Education). The project brings together organizations from the Netherlands, Italy and Czechia to promote more inclusive workplaces and improve support for LGBTQIA+ individuals in the labour market.
Despite increasing awareness of diversity and equality, many LGBTQIA+ people still face discrimination, bias, or exclusion in the workplace and during recruitment processes. These challenges affect not only employment opportunities but also wellbeing and career progression.
At the same time, many HR professionals and career counselors lack specific training on how to effectively support LGBTQIA+ employees and job seekers.
Experts from Arcigay will train project staff in LGBTQIA+ rights, anti-discrimination strategies and inclusive workplace practices. This helps the partnership build strong expertise before working with external professionals.
The project will create a multilingual online course for HR professionals and career counselors. The MOOC will include practical guidelines, real-life case studies, video lectures and tools for implementing inclusive HR policies.
The course will be available in English, Italian, Dutch and Czech.
The MOOC will be tested with 45 HR professionals and career counselors. Through pre- and post-training assessments, the project will evaluate how the training improves knowledge, confidence and practical implementation of inclusive practices.
