More opportunities for people

We support companies that promote social change

We want to work alongside companies that encourage social change. In 2006, we set up the Incorpora programme, which is now a benchmark for helping integration into work. This programme is intended to build bridges among companies and the 248 social organisations that work to integrate groups for whom finding a job is particularly difficult.

Incorpora has a network of 369 experts who have prompted the integration into work of over 32,000 people at risk or in a situation of social exclusion, in over 13,600 companies associated with the programme.

A World of work open to everyone

Work gives people the chance to develop and to show what they are capable of doing. At "la Caixa" Foundation we award grants to non-profit organisations' projects throughout Spain that are intended to encourage the independence of people with reduced mobility or people with a severe mental disorder and thus help them become integrated into society and work.

In 2010, we supported 244 projects that give disabled people access to the job market.

Grants for prisoners, a second chance

Training and education can be of great help when starting over again. In 2005, we introduced a programme of professional training grants for inmates in prison centres who are serving the last phase of their sentences.

These grants give prisoners the chance to train in trades for which there is high professional demand and thus to obtain skills with which to rejoin society with a job.

The courses are run outside the prison centres on a semi-employment basis.

Since the programme started, we have awarded 4,288 professional training grants.
