EMPLOYMENT

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.

Fundación Exit’s programs are designed to reduce early school leaving and improve the employability of socially vulnerable young people.

• Comprehensive career counseling: we accompany young people so that they can get to know themselves better, discover training and career options, and make decisions about their future.

• School-Company: we combine training in the educational center with practical experiences in companies through Dual Vocational Training.

• Employment: We facilitate contact with the labor market and support young people in their access to a job through the “la Caixa” Foundation’s Incorpora Program. Incorpora Program of the “la Caixa” Foundation.

Our goal is to build bridges between education and business to generate more opportunities.

In the program of Comprehensive Job Orientation Fundación Exit helps young people in situations of social vulnerability to discover their potential and build their academic and professional future.

We base it on a process divided into four dimensions: self-knowledge, labor market exploration, career experimentation and decision making. Through practical activities, the accompaniment of professionals and contact with companies, the young people identify their interests, learn about different job opportunities and live real experiences in the world of work.

Our goal is to enable them to make informed decisions and increase their educational and employment opportunities.
