Envera celebrates the tenth anniversary of its annexation to the Incorpora Program of "la Caixa" Foundation. Since 2014 and thanks to the Incorpora Network, Envera has served more than 1,380 people with disabilities with the aim of improving their quality of life and their socio-labor inclusion, and has generated 810 employment opportunities of which more than 650 have become jobs for people with disabilities.
With the Incorpora Program, Envera permanently develops personalized labor insertion itineraries tailored to the capabilities of each person with which it promotes prospecting and awareness in the business sector, manages job offers and carries out labor intermediation and advice on hiring qualified personnel with disabilities, so that all the people it works with can obtain a productive, dignified and stable job, appropriate to their different professional profiles and provide the necessary support throughout their professional careers.
As explained by Envera's Training and Labor Insertion Area, "the collaborative work of the network is of vital importance to be able to provide a successful response both to the people who are part of the labor itineraries and to the hiring companies, offering both parties personalized support before, during and after each insertion". In the Community of Madrid, Envera works with 39 social entities through the Incorpora Program Network.
The Incorpora Program promotes the labor market insertion of particularly vulnerable people and, over the last decade, Envera and "la Caixa" Foundation have been working together for equal opportunities to access the labor market, especially in ordinary companies, breaking down many of the prejudices that still exist today about professionals with disabilities.
