The More Employment program of Spain's La Caixa Bank has facilitated a total of 4,144 labor contracts in 29 Spanish provinces in its second year, through 67 projects of social entities.

These projects serve people at risk of exclusion such as young people, those over 45 years old, people with physical or intellectual disabilities, immigrants, or victims of gender violence, among others.

Likewise, thanks to More Employment, a total of 9,880 people have been attended and the qualified training of 4,755 people has been promoted.

The More Employment program of La Caixa is co-financed by the European Social Fund with 30.6 million euros and 10.8 million euros by the La Caixa Banking Foundation.

The selected projects have obtained an annual financing of between 80,000 and 100,000 euros until the year 2023, and include individualized itineraries, training to improve employability, prospecting and labor intermediation, job guidance in the active search for employment and, in case of achieving insertion, support and monitoring of both the person and the company.

The Banking Foundation La Caixa was appointed in 2016 the Intermediate Organization of the European Social Fund in the Operational Program of Social Inclusion and Social Economy (POISES) for Spain 2014 - 2020, and has been within the framework of that program where it has developed this initiative.

The POISES is a response from Spain aimed at promoting social inclusion and combating poverty and any form of discrimination. The program responds to the will of La Caixa to combat social exclusion, guarantee equal opportunities in access to the labor market and take advantage of the potential of the social economy in economic recovery.

According to President of the Banking Foundation, Isidro Fainé: “These projects accompany people in vulnerable situations in the discovery and enhancement of their own talent, and improve their employability and quality of life, something that ends being beneficial for society as a whole.”
