Andrés Rodríguez came to Envera with one goal in mind: to train to get his first job.

During the 2015-2016 academic year, Andrés and fourteen other colleagues, all of them people with disabilities, worked to obtain the two professional certificates to which this training project gives access: Auxiliary Activities in Agriculture and Auxiliary Activities in Gardens, Nurseries and Garden Centers.
