When Beatriz and Jennifer arrived in early 2016 at the Envera delegation in Las Palmas, interested in the opportunities offered by this entity specialized in the socio-labor insertion of people with disabilities, they did not imagine what they would be able to achieve months later.

From the outset, both young women, aged 25 and 23 respectively, received personalized career guidance in line with their personal aspirations. After professional counseling, they decided to take the first step to begin a new stage, based on training, which would allow them to achieve the goals they had set for themselves.

Through this initiative, students in the fourth year of ESO can voluntarily spend between three and five school days at public or private organizations to learn first-hand about the activities carried out by the professionals who work there.

Envera wanted to join the 4th ESO+Enterprise project in collaboration with the Raimundo Lulio School and the Nuestra Señora de las Nieves School, hosting for three days two students, Raquel and Elena, from the former, and a student, Alberto, from the latter.

The President of the Congress of Deputies, Ana Pastor, and the deputy Alfonso Candón have received this Monday a representation of Envera at the headquarters of the Lower House on the occasion of the 40th anniversary that this year celebrates the entity, under the Honorary Presidency of Her Majesty Queen Letizia.

There are people who are born with a special power. Influential people who, without being known in the media spheres or having thousands of followers on social networks, are able to influence the lives of others. In the lives of their families, their friends, their colleagues...

This is María José López who, at the age of 59 and with a physical disability, has a great capacity to coordinate work teams like the one she now leads at the Envera Special Employment Center. With her, there are eight people in charge of managing the incidents that occur in airline tickets using a complex system based on codes that are indecipherable except for María José and her team.

Francisco José got a job thanks to the support of Envera and the Incorpora Program of the Obra Social "la Caixa" Foundation, which is now in its 10th year. Francisco José Pacheco is one of those people who has carved out his own present and, possibly, his future. Perhaps his greatest achievement has been to do so by breaking down the barriers and prejudices that often accompany people with intellectual disabilities. Since his arrival at Envera in 2005, his main aspiration has been to train to get a job, demonstrating that with the necessary support we can all become the best at something.

Juan Manuel Gómez, Director of Radio Sol, has presented Envera's President, José Antonio Quintero, with a check for 13,000 euros representing the solidarity box office of the XVII Gran Gala de Zarzuela de Año Nuevo, organized by the Madrid radio station and the Fundación Sinfolírica, which managed to fill the Auditorio Nacional last January, in favor of Envera.
