Cáritas Española has just resolved the call for 2023 of the Operational Program for Social Inclusion and Social Economy (POISES) co-financed by the European Social Fund and which is endowed with a total budget of 10,063,536.02 euros.
Of this significant volume of resources, 4,900,314.78 euros will be used to accompany people in their job search, helping them to improve their skills, their search techniques and mediating with companies (Socio-Labor insertion itineraries), another 4,324,404.52 euros will be dedicated to training actions to improve their job qualifications; while 838,816.72 euros will go to social economy projects, mainly insertion companies, whose purpose is to offer employment and improve the training of people at risk of social exclusion.
These resources, which are part of the POISES 2020-23 call and whose development is coordinated through the Solidarity Economy Team of Cáritas Española, make it possible to support the employment, training and social economy programs of 59 Diocesan Cáritas throughout Spain.
Access to the world of work
The objective set by Cáritas for 2023 through the Operational Program will allow it to accompany around 5,000 participants in social and labor insertion Itineraries, 2,600 in training actions and 200 more in insertion companies.
The resources of the European Social Fund that Cáritas has been managing since the year 2000 support access to the world of work for groups at risk of social exclusion and value employment as the best means of advancing towards personal autonomy and inclusion.
POISES has been running since 2016 with support from the European Social Fund. In our country it is implemented under the responsibility of the Government of Spain through the ESF Administrative Unit of the Ministry of Labour, Migration and Social Security.
