UN Women’s Second Chance Education programme supports women affected by crisis or who have missed out on education by providing a second chance to access learning and training opportunities. It supports them to find pathways to personal and economic empowerment. Through local partners, it offers face-to-face training, support with learning, and help with getting back into formal education.
It helps women in their efforts to earn income by making sure their learning is linked to local earning opportunities.
The programme is in a pilot phase until December 2023 in six countries: Australia, Cameroon, Chile, India, Jordan and Mexico.

Depending on the programme, Second Chance courses may be offered in-person, online or in a blended format. For example, the programme in Chile is 100% online but the other pilot programmes offer a combination of in-person and online training.
SCE’s blended learning courses offer participants the best of both worlds, using a mix of online learning (which gives you flexibility in where and when you study) and face-to-face, in-person sessions in physical learning spaces which provide opportunities for personal interaction and relationship building with peers.
