Women in Ida-Viru County who do not speak Estonian are being sought for a new €1.4 million project to increase labor market participation.The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications doubts the project will succeed but is open to experimenting.

The Ministry wants to help women aged 40-64 who do not speak Estonian to increase their employment opportunities.

Organizations are being encouraged to submit proposals with new ideas.
