Fundación CV Pacto Empleo Valencia

Fundación CV Pacto Empleo Valencia (FCVPE) was created in 2005 by the City Hall of Valencia in agreement with the main social and public institutions of the Region of Valencia: the City Hall of Valencia, two main national Trade Unions (UGT and CC OO) and two main regional Employers' Organizations (CEV and CEPYMEV). FCVPE aims to support people with fewer opportunities, providing them with jobs, training and labour insertion. The target groups are: - Disabled people. - Female workers. - Young people. - Long-term unemployed people. - Immigrants. - Victims of gender violence. FCVPE has developed training projects to improve the skills of these target groups making easier for them finding a job in the labour market. FCVPE is also involved on different European projects dealing with training, disability, young people, ICT and immigration. In 2008 FCVPE created Fet de Vidre, S.L., a "sheltered workshop" in which 20 disabled people work on making handmade articles of glass (www.fetdevidre.com). FCVPE created in 2010 another "sheltered workshop" in which 11 disabled people work on different activities, like accounting services, event organization, scanning and document management with SQL database, creating web sites, so on... These disabled workers were previously trained by FCVPE in different courses implemented directly by FCVPE. So the combination of FCVPE and both "sheltered workshops" means that we can fully integrate disabled people into the labour market, leaving a full time familiar life and increasing their participation in the society (www.fentdetot.com). We also work at European scope through TRAINDIPICTS project targeting to identify the best practices and ICT tools for training disabled people (www.traindipicts.eu). As one of the collectives with highest difficulties to find a job in Spain, young people need a special treatment. FCVPE trains unqualified young people and helps qualified ones to get a first job experience by implementing projects in which there's a good balance between training and job tasks related to their professional orientation. In this way, we've implemented three Leonardo daVinci mobility projects in order to promote the ability of young people of working abroad, providing them with the capacity of working in a different language atmosphere. FCVPE is working on NEET people through the Lifelong Learning Programme Project (KA1) NETnotNEET aiming to contribute to reduce the negative impact that NEET phenomenon has in the society (www.netnotneet.eu). Also, FCVPE is working on another LifeLong Learning Programme Project (KA1) Jump@School aiming to study the Early Leaving phenomenon and providing with solutions to reduce its high rate (www.jumpatschool.eu). We offer long-term unemployed people some different activities, like retraining in projects which combine training and work in new areas. We also help immigrants to integrate into our society by implementing training and cultural courses. In this way, we've implemented a Grundtvig Partnership called "Active Methods for European Integration" (www.acmei.net). We implement projects to combat gender violence every year through labour insertion activities, promotion campaigns and training courses.
