It isn't one gap. It's two.
Whoever returns today doesn't return to the market she left. The work-life balance gap is compounded by the digital gap. Retorno con Valor works on both at once.
Losing the fear of AI
Many in this group haven't had the chance to get familiar with the AI tools already used in their sector. The programme introduces them in a practical way, without jargon.
A digital component throughout the journey
The whole programme includes a digital layer — from the learning platform to job-search tools — so that participants return in step with the market they want to rejoin.

What Retorno con Valor is
A pilot programme that supports professional mothers in returning to the labour market. Specialised methodology, digital and applied AI training, mentoring and a peer community, together with the city's leading public body for economic development and employment.
Kick-off
Bootcamp + community launch. Leveraging what motherhood teaches for the world of work; technology as an ally against the mental load.
5-week journey
Microlearning + group mentoring + peer community: stress and mental health, communication, visibility, professional reconnection, with AI built into productivity and work-life balance.
Closing event
Panel of invited role models and presentation of the 30-60-90 action plans, with an AI assistant set up as each plan's personal manager.
