Instead of the young people being interviewed, it is company professionals who introduce themselves and explain their work history in short, one-on-one meetings. The young people rotate through different tables and have the opportunity to listen, ask questions and learn about different professions and real experiences in the world of work.

With this activity we seek to help them explore the labor market, discover vocations and reflect on their professional future through direct contact with people from the business environment.

At Fundación Exit our accompaniment varies according to the program, but in all cases we maintain it as an ongoing process throughout the intervention with each classroom or group of young people.

• In the Integral Job Orientation program, we accompany you throughout the entire orientation itinerary, from the beginning of the process until the academic and professional decisions are made.

Fundación Exit’s comprehensive orientation model is based on the OECD report “How youth explore, experience and think about their future“. After following the evolution of 67,000 young people for 10-15 years, the study showed that those who had performed certain key activities in adolescence achieved better employment rates, higher salaries and more life satisfaction. Based on these key activities, Fundación Exit has created a program consisting of four experiential modules.

• EXcanéate: Self-knowledge and identification of interests and competencies.
• EXplora: Exploration of the labor market by professionals from the business world.
• EXperimenta: Accompaniment in the experimentation of professions through internships in the company.
• EXcoge: Decision-making to start building the future from today.

At Fundación Exit we promote corporate volunteering as a way to connect business professionals with young people who participate in our academic and professional orientation programs. Through different initiatives included in our Integral Orientation Program, volunteers share their experience and accompany young people in their personal and professional development process.

Depending on the activity, the level of dedication and participation varies:

• Speed Dating Reverse:

We organize group sessions in which young people from educational centers participate in dynamics and conversations with volunteer professionals to learn first-hand about different profiles and career paths. The activity takes place at the facilities of the collaborating company, is carried out during working hours and requires a dedication of approximately 5 hours.

• Project Coach:

We develop an individual accompaniment program in which we assign each young person a company volunteer who acts as his or her coach during the project’s itinerary. Throughout six structured sessions, we create a space of trust to work on interests, skills and future expectations through conversations, reflection dynamics and experiences of approaching the work environment, such as workshops, interview simulations or visits to the workplace.

With this accompaniment we seek to broaden horizons, strengthen the confidence of young people and help them make decisions about their academic and professional future. The total dedication for volunteers is approximately 20 working hours distributed throughout the six sessions.

In the Fundación Exit’s School-Enterprise Program we connect educational training with the world of work through dual training projects and practical training linked to companies. Our aim is that young people can learn by combining theory in the classroom with real experiences in professional environments, thus improving their employability and their preparation for future employment.

To this end, we collaborate with educational centers and companies to design training itineraries that include internships, the development of professional competencies and support throughout the process. In this way, students not only acquire technical knowledge, but also key skills such as responsibility, autonomy and teamwork.

Within the program we develop different projects adapted to different sectors and needs:

• FP Dual Project: We promote a formal training that combines theoretical learning and internships in companies, allowing students to gain real experience while obtaining their degree. This model increases their chances of finding employment.

• We create opportunities in the hospitality industry: We developed an official training program in the hospitality industry, tutored by Fundación Exit and financed by Fundación Mahou San Miguel, which facilitates the access of young people to this professional field.

Overall, we seek to reduce the gap between training and employment, facilitating a more realistic and efficient transition into the labor market.
