Today the Interface3 is recognized as Continuing Training Centre and Socio-professional Insertion Agency by Brussels Region and by numerous private and institutional partners for the quality and the innovative nature of its training, which facilitate access for women to the expanding sectors of the labour market. In 2014 Interface3 offered 10 long vocational trainings leading to qualification in IT jobs in which women are under-represented (network manager, web application developer, etc.) & fields that are more traditionally women's that have become highly computerized (bilingual accounting assistant, etc).  Interface3 center's offers a different approach to vocational training for women which combines, in an integrated course, guidance, pre-training, qualifying training centered on the person and help in starting work. The range of women that comes to Interface3 is very varied, both from the point of view of nationality and place of origin and as regards existing skill levels and age.  Its main unifying factor is that it consists of women looking for a "better working future". Since its creation about 4000 women have benefitted from various training modules, from IT to management and to languages, which have led to successful professional insertion for nearly 70% of them.
