Yesterday, the Adecco Foundation welcomed several authorities from the Community of Madrid, including Carmen Tejera, Deputy Councillor for Economy and Employment; Belén García, General Director of the Public Employment Service; and Mercedes Marín, General Director of Training. The meeting took place at the Comprehensive Employment Search Center (CIBE), a space dedicated to supporting people facing unemployment and vulnerability, backed by the regional government.
During the visit, the authorities had the opportunity to learn about the foundation’s comprehensive and individualized work model, which focuses on employment pathways aimed at facilitating the labor inclusion of those facing difficulties. This approach combines personalized attention with technological innovation while promoting close collaboration with the regional business community.
Carmen Tejera emphasized Madrid’s essential role in the Spanish economy and its capacity for job creation, noting that currently, one in four new jobs in the country is created in this community. “Lives are built on employment, and societies are built on talent,” she remarked during her speech.
Additionally, the event included the presentation of diplomas to participants in the Digital Skills program, an intensive training initiative aimed at equipping attendees with the digital competencies necessary to facilitate their access to the job market. This program is designed to benefit a total of one thousand people, including women in social exclusion situations, individuals with intellectual disabilities, and young people under the age of 30. The training covers basic skills in administrative management to using digital tools for job searching, aiming to close the growing digital divide affecting these groups.
Santiago Soler, a trustee of the Adecco Foundation, highlighted that this visit represents an acknowledgment of the joint effort between the public and private sectors to build a more inclusive society. It is estimated that by 2025, the CIBE will provide resources and services to 8,581 Madrid residents at risk, with the goal of exceeding the 1,636 hires recorded in 2024.
The collaboration between the Adecco Foundation and the Community of Madrid reaffirms its commitment to promoting a society where digitalization is an accessible tool for all, focusing on not leaving behind those who need it the most.
