Resources have been launched to assist women who want to return to work.
Skills we use on a daily bases, and take for granted, can be transferred to become a job.
That's according to Coordinator for Services to the Unemployed for Westmeath Community Development, Tricia McKenna, after the launch of the new Mná na hÉireann, Women of Ireland Empowerment Fund 2023-2026.
The funds aim to help women access employment and training programmes.
