- Incorpora, at the side of groups at risk of exclusion
People with disabilities face numerous barriers to accessing the labour market and developing their talent.
According to SEPE data, their activity rate is less than half that of the general population. This is largely due to prejudices that focus on their limitations rather than their abilities.
The ‘la Caixa’ Foundation, through the Incorpora programme, calls for equal opportunities and non-discrimination in employment.
‘Prejudices persist, above all, in companies with no experience with disabled workers. However, when a company hires and gets to know these people, stereotypes disappear completely. There is no other secret. The insertions achieved through programmes such as Incorpora show that it is not a problem of productivity or adaptation’, says Ramón Giró, managing partner of Seeliger y Conde Diversity and expert in corporate management of diversity and disability.
Ramón Giró reminds us that there are 1,200 million people with disabilities in the world, more than 4 million in Spain, and calls on companies and society not to place limits on them.
Nearly 8,000 job placements by 2024
In 2024, the Incorpora programme and the social entities that collaborate with this initiative have assisted 22,785 people with disabilities, achieving 7,835 new hires.
Of these, 44.86% correspond to people with physical disabilities, 24.9% to mental disabilities, 22.63% to intellectual disabilities and 7.5% to sensory disabilities.
Personalised methodology and monitoring
The Incorpora programme's socio-occupational insertion technicians design personalised itineraries that assess the potential of each person and promote their active participation to facilitate effective labour market insertion.
This methodology, which places the person at the centre of their progress, is key to promoting their autonomy and guaranteeing the success of the process of integration into the labour market.
The Incorpora programme also carries out important awareness-raising work with companies so that they recognise this initiative as an opportunity to incorporate diverse and motivated talent, while reinforcing their social responsibility and commitment to equal opportunities, diversity and non-discrimination.
During 2024, 13,584 companies have collaborated with the programme, of which 29.3% (3,985) have hired at least one person with a disability.
Incorpora, at the side of groups at risk of exclusion
The main aim of the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation's Incorpora programme is to promote the inclusion in the labour market of people at risk of social exclusion.
Through its different lines of action, it serves people with physical, intellectual or sensory disabilities, people with mental health problems, women who are victims of gender violence, migrants, young people, people over 45 and people with addiction problems, among others.
Since its launch in 2006, more than 450,000 people in vulnerable situations have obtained employment through Incorpora. This is possible thanks to the networking of more than 400 social entities and the collaboration of thousands of socially responsible companies throughout Spain in various sectors such as hospitality, commerce, cleaning, social and health care, transport, industry and logistics.
