INCORPORA
Context
The Incorpora Programme, established in 2006, aims to help at-risk or marginalised people find work placements in companies. It further aims to:
– Offer companies an alternative form of corporate social responsibility, creating more employment for vulnerable people.
– Increase the training of professionals within the social organisations participating in the Incorpora Programme.
– Promote socially responsible regions that help provide solutions for at-risk or marginalised people and promote equal opportunities.
From 2006 to 2016, Incorpora Spain placed more than 137,000 vulnerable people in various training programmes or helped them find employment. In Morocco, there have been 4,000 placements since 2009. Following previous successes, Incorpora extended its operations to Morocco and Tunisia through a 12-month programme (with the possibility of annual renewal). The project was implemented within the MedConfederation framework and includes the collaboration of the Caisse de Dépôt et de Consignations, International Office for Migration (Tunisia), and the Confédération Générale des Entreprises du Maroc (Morocco).
The project’s two-pronged approach:
Network of social organisations : The social organisations offer training and employment-mediation programmes to users, so they can improve their skills and gain access to employment. The organisations work to identify the needs of companies in the area and select candidates that fit with required profile and they offer support throughout the entire job-placement process.
Network of companies: La Caixa Foundation collaborates with business groups and other economic organisations to run the programme’s awareness-raising and promotion initiatives – a useful service for companies in the field of human-resources, from a socially responsible perspective.
