EMPLEA +
Using technology to skill the most vulnerable
ACCESSIBLE. DIGITAL. CUSTOMIZABLE. GLOBAL.
People without education and with limited skills face significant challenges accessing employment through the ordinary labor market.
To address this gap in both technical, digital and soft skills, we created Emplea+. Developed in 2013 in collaboration with the Spanish Ministry of Employment and a cross-sector consortium of nonprofit partners and corporations, Emplea+ is a unique online program that can help marginalized individuals develop key competencies needed for employment.

José was working in construction in Bolivia, with no stability and no long-term contracts—a very physical job, in which he saw no future. He received a combination of in-person and digital training in basic workplace and job search skills. He now works in a full-time position with that company, and plans to start his own business someday.
