Reintegrating Women through IT Reskilling and Education (REWIRED)

REWIRED builds on Connected Women’s flagship program Elevate AIDA (Artificial Intelligence Data Annotation) and will train 40-50 OFW returnees and future returnees in artificial intelligence (AI) data labeling, to equip them with skills for remote work. The program includes 2 webinars and a 3-week training program. The introductory webinar held on 23 March 2022 tackled the opportunities for OFWs in the digital economy and how to upskill and re-skill for freelancing, remote work and microwork. The second webinar will discuss industry-specific tools that are used for data labelling.

Promoting the dignified return, and sustainable and gender-responsive reintegration of migrant workers is one of the objectives of the BRIDGE Program funded by the Migration Multi-Partner Trust Fund (MPTF) and jointly implemented by IOM, the International Labor Organization, and the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women). This is in line with Objective 21 of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration (GCM).
