Piano C: Coworking, Cobaby, Community - "Projects for Women" Competition

Launched in Milan in December 2012, Piano C began as a co-working and women’s services programme. Over time, it turned into an innovative set of solutions to facilitate women’s entry in the work force and make it more productive.
It all began with creating a community and making a series of services available to the coworkers, including “time-saving” services, training, social occasions, rec rooms, and agreements with the local neighbourhood.
As it evolved, Piano C soon became a pro-active player in providing innovative and productive ways to match women with job opportunities, through the development of innovative social projects for women focused on providing strategies and tools to support women’s employment.
The C to Work programme was established for women who aim to enter or re-enter the job market, or change professions altogether. It consists of three projects, each addressing a different need: BRIDGE TO WORK provides services to bridge the preparation gap of young women vis-a-vis the needs of the job market; BACK TO WORK is a network to help women successfully re-enter the job market; and REWORK helps women find new inspiration, even in an entirely different professional field.
Maternity turns into a management school with MAAM, Maternity As A Master, a training programme that transforms parenting skills into leadership.
