In this second edition, a group of six young people have benefited from the grant, receiving training in the Communication Techniques course of Atresmedia Formación, taught by professionals from the company. The aim of this course was to improve their communication skills with a view to facing selection interviews or the job itself.
The course was held in person in the training classrooms of the Atresmedia facilities, although the students were also able to follow some of the classes in online format. The sessions were eminently practical and were given by renowned professionals from the audiovisual sector. Oral and written communication focused on job interviews, non-verbal communication and assertiveness, are some of the contents that the students have passed in this course focused on improving their communication skills, thus contributing to their social and labour integration.
The promotion of equality and diversity forms 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, promoting the recruitment and training of people with disabilities in order to achieve their integration into the world of work, External and internal awareness-raising, through its contents and advertising spaces, as well as through corporate volunteering and different internal awareness-raising initiatives, and Accessibility of contents, in order to guarantee the right to information for all people, regardless of their hearing or visual capacity.
