Both entities signed a collaboration agreement in December 2021 to promote the first edition of this training, with the aim of improving the employability and equal employment opportunities of people with borderline intelligence of Capacis Foundation.

In this new 2022 edition, a second group of six young people will attend the Communication Techniques course in the training classrooms of the Atresmedia facilities, taught by leading professionals from the sector.

The aim of this course, developed by Atresmedia Formación, is for the grantees to improve, through highly practical sessions, their communication skills with a view to the selection interviews they face and their own professional performance. Likewise, in this second edition, written communication, which is also very necessary when looking for a job, will be dealt with in a more exhaustive manner. This initiative is designed to reinforce the training programme in which the Capacis Foundation participates on a daily basis.

The new call for applications, which will take place this year, is part of the training scholarship programme for people with disabilities promoted by Atresmedia, in which other entities committed to diversity and the inclusion of this target group in the workplace already participate, and which is intended to continue.

The promotion of equality and diversity is part of the commitments made by Atresmedia in its General Corporate Responsibility Policy and in its Human Resources Policy. This commitment is embodied in the Company's Equality Plan, as well as in a disability management strategy that revolves around three lines of action, all of which are equal priorities: ‘Employability and Training’, encouraging the recruitment and training of people with disabilities in order to achieve their integration into the workplace; ‘External and Internal Awareness’, through its content and advertising spaces, as well as through Corporate Volunteering and different internal awareness-raising initiatives; and ‘Content Accessibility’, in order to guarantee the right to information for all people, regardless of their hearing or visual ability.

About Capacis Foundation

The Capacis Foundation's mission for the last ten years has been to accompany young people with borderline intelligence and mild intellectual disabilities in building their own future. Being such an unknown profile, between normality and disability, there are many families who live every day with uncertainty, so the organisation accompanies them on their way through adapted training, support and, above all, a lot of affection, with the aim of giving these young people back their self-confidence and bringing out all their abilities to make them the best professionals and above all the best people.
