AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ Prowess Project, a platform connecting employers with professional women re-entering the workforce after a pause, now offers an online networking destination connecting them during the largest exodus of female talent in modern-day history. The “Community”, in addition to Prowess’ confidence training, upskilling, and job-marketplace, creates a clear path for women to go from full-time caregiver to hired.
According to McKinsey, 2M women left the workforce in 2020 due to the pandemic. Lack of childcare made it impossible for many women to balance caring for a family and working a traditional 40-hour a week job. To compound this problem, women who leave the workforce for just three years due to caregiving face the severe penalty of a 37% loss in lifetime compensation power.
