Preparing a CV, rehearsing an interview or knowing where to look for vacancies can make the difference when you are looking for work. For people with physical disabilities, the El Saliente Association provides that support through Andalucía Orienta, a personalised employment guidance service that has one of its two units in Albox and also sees people, as a travelling service, in Olula del Río and Macael.
The programme is funded by the regional ministry of Employment, Enterprise and Self-Employment of the Andalusian regional government (Junta de Andalucía), through the Andalusian Employment Service, and El Saliente has been running it since 2002, as the association itself has reported.
What does it offer?
- A personalised pathway into work, designed with each person.
- Help with writing a CV and preparing for job interviews.
- Job-search techniques and information on vacancies and training.
- Advice on self-employment, when it fits the person’s profile.
- Support during the first six months after starting work.
Who can use it, and where?
It is aimed at people with physical disabilities who are looking for work and are registered as jobseekers. The association invites anyone interested to contact its guidance units to find out how to access the service.
In the Valley, the unit is at Calle Ramón y Cajal, 32, in Albox, and its phone number, according to the association’s website, is 950 120 283. The other unit is in Huércal de Almería, and the team also travels to Olula del Río, Macael, Vélez-Rubio, Huércal-Overa, Roquetas de Mar and Benahadux.
Having a unit in Albox and reaching Olula del Río and Macael means that residents of the Valley can receive this guidance close to home, without having to travel all the way to the provincial capital. The association, which has official public-utility status, also has a Centro Especial de Empleo (special employment centre) and has more than 35 years of work with people with disabilities behind it, according to its website.
