Madrid | August 7, 2024
Since 2001, Envera participates in the AILA Project Project for the Insertion of People with Disabilities in the Workplace, promoted by the Madrid Regional Government's Department of Family, Youth and Social Affairs, with 40% co-financing from the European Union Plus. 40% co-financing from the European Union Plus.
The main objective of this non-profit organization is to achieve the labor inclusion of people with disabilities who have greater difficulties of insertion, especially with intellectual, mental, physical or sensory disabilities over 65% and who, in general, do not have formal training or previous work experience.
The job placements that Envera achieves in ordinary companies or special employment centers are carried out under the supported employment methodology (ECA) whenever the case requires it, adapting the intensity to the needs of the candidates and those of the job position.
Throughout the year 2024, with the support of the AILA XIX Project, Envera is developing integrated itineraries for labor market insertion in which 60 people with disabilitiesof which 10 are also taking a cooking and hotel and catering course with training internships in companies in the sector.
Tal y como detalla Eva Alonso, técnica del Servicio de Inserción Laboral de Envera, "la elaboración individualizada de itinerarios de inserción laboral con cada participante nos permite configurar el camino necesario para que cada persona con discapacidad pueda conseguir un empleo estable, atendiendo a sus cualidades, intereses, preferencias y enfoque profesional, que le permita ocupar con dignidad su lugar en el mundo".
These itineraries facilitate the development of resources and competencies so that the person can identify employment options, choose, make their own decisions and evaluate the results in an autonomous manner.
One of the constants that is repeated throughout all the AILA Projects is the importance given to the work on pre-employment and training skills. For example, within the Project, workshops related to the latest technologies are carried out to reduce the digital divide and provide access and technological training to people with disabilities, since these skills are increasingly in demand in the labor market and, through these workshops, the opportunity is provided to acquire knowledge so that candidates can improve their employment opportunities and become more competitive in an increasingly digital environment.
"Otra parte importante del Proyecto AILA que desarrollamos desde Envera es la formación específica que se imparte en el Curso Gratuito de Ayudante de Cocina y Sala a diez personas con discapacidad y que está enfocada al sector de hostelería, que tiene una alta demanda de profesionales y da muchas oportunidades a las personas con discapacidad", detalla Alonso.
The main objective of this specific training, which includes internships in companies of the sector, is to qualify and train people with disabilities to perform tasks related to the hospitality industry as kitchen assistants and thus be able to access one of the most sought-after professions in the labor market.
In addition to these courses, specific training on environmental awareness and sustainability (aimed at promoting environmentally sensitive behavior and attitudes, through information on regulations, basic concepts and sustainability habits) as well as gender equality with activities aimed at training, promotion and awareness in this area are provided throughout all the Projects.
During the development of all AILA Projects, Envera works closely with social services, labor rehabilitation centers and base centers in the Community of Madrid and, together with organizations, companies, public administrations and institutions to inform, raise awareness and implement all the measures of social responsibility and disability adopted in this initiative.
