Stepping Stones
About the program
While the transition to a new country can present women with new opportunities, cultural barriers and limited access to services can affect their ability to work. Stepping Stones offers mentoring, training and support to help women develop new skills and increase their participation in business and the community.
Run by the Ecumenical Migration Centre, Stepping Stones is offered to women from a refugee background in Melbourne’s inner north.
