INCLUSIVE EMPLOYMENT

Basic Skills for
Employment Traning

The Project

The project comprises the creation of a platform for training and job orientation for the group of people with disabilities on the island of Fuerteventura under the following criteria:
  1. Given the absolute precariousness of employment of people with disabilities, we set ourselves the objective of improving the socio-labour situation of these people.
  2. Despite the difficulties of public transportation, we find a large group of people with disabilities interested in finding a job.
  3. We encourage cooperation with the business community, which often lacks information on disability and its employment possibilities.
  4. We identify the people with different abilities qualified for specific jobs.
  5. We provide Basic Skills for Employment, transmitting personal and professional, workable and social skills to people with disabilities interested in entering the labour market.
