Heading up from the fact that the situation observed decreases the possibility of women to become administrators, the project is prepared to be implemented in 5 countries where the rate of women administrators is extremely low.So as to be able to cope with such problems as gender discrimination and lack of communication with their fellows that they are faced with advancing in their careers, women administrators and women manager candidates who are exposed to glass ceiling syndrome need guidance, social support and motivational services. Within this context, this project is in line with the objective of ""improving the demand and take-up through effective outreach, guidance and motivation strategies"", which is of the priorities of European Commission in the field of adult education.

Project’s Intellectual Outputs were created suitable for this target, which are:1-Situation Analysis Report (IO1): Report contains knowledge about Glass Ceiling Syndrome given in related literature. It aims to put forward the currents situation of Glass Ceiling Syndrome and Glass Ceiling Barriers that women administrators face in Turkey, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Germany. The report has 3 main parts. Problem Situation, Method, Findings and Discussions and Results and Suggestions.

According to training evaluation results and participants' feedbacks, it is seen that training program is valid and applicable.The situation analysis report (IO1), women administrators training program (IO2) and women administrators mentorship training program (IO3) will be available for use with a free access in many countries around Europe.Therefore we aim to reduce gender discrimination at the management level, break the prejudices and stereotypes directed to women administrators and administrator candidates, inform them in advance about glass ceiling barriers they may encounter and thus to develop their ability to cope with these barriers, improve the work conditions of them, give mentorship training to women administrators for make them guide other women administrator candidates.By taking all these priorities, intellectual outputs, short and long term aims into consider this project aims women administrators to develop better social skills and right decision-making skills and to gain motivation to overcome glass ceiling barriers in their career planning. In the long run, this project will inspire and contribute future projects related to gender inequality, social stereotypes against women in work life and developing administrative skills of women. And it will serve as a practical project with its products to overcome gender inequalities in work life."
