On November 18 and 19, Pavilion 2 of the IFEMA fairgrounds in Madrid once again hosted the 9th edition of the Employment and Disability Fair with the aim of bringing together employers and people with disabilities seeking employment to facilitate their integration, as well as to raise awareness in society and activate labor participation. For the ninth consecutive year, we set up the Envera stand so that visitors could meet us up close. In the 2014 edition, a total of 1,343 resumes were received in person and through the form on the fair's official website. It is expected that this year the number of resumes collected will be similar.

Iberia, our main patron and with whom we have a special relationship, celebrated last Sunday the 25th anniversary of Hangar 6, a space located in La Muñoza (Madrid) specially designed to provide shelter for aircraft to be repaired and which, with a surface area of twenty thousand square meters, is completely open-plan. The aeronautical company wanted to take advantage of the occasion to organize a solidarity race in favor of Grupo Envera - APMIB and the Fundación mano a mano, in which Iberia employees, families and friends took part.

The visit of Juan Manuel Moreno (PP-A) coincides with the dangerous situation in which the center finds itself due to the non-payment of twelve million euros by the Junta de Andalucía.

The Montemadrid Foundation has long been one of Envera's main collaborators, and its representatives had the opportunity to see first-hand the work carried out at the Group's headquarters in the capital, as well as the training classrooms of the Professional and Adult Education Program, the early care unit and the special employment center.

Students of the Professional and Adult Education Program of the Envera Group's training center in Madrid visited, together with their teachers, the seat of the Congress of Deputies. The visit ended at the Plaza Mayor.
