We are FCC - Nº4

R E S P O N S A B I L I T Y On behalf of FCC Medio Ambien- te, Luis Suárez, director of Human Resources, addressed all people present, highlighting that the agree- ment signed with Norte Joven is part of FCC´s social commitment to the communities it serves, promoting the improvement of the work placement and the social integration of groups in vulnerable situations who experience difficulties in accessing employment. In addition, he emphasised that re- cruitment and selection are based on the principles of dedication to service, customer focus, result orientated and social commitment. The next speaker was Kenia Navarro, North Youth Work Placement Officer, and Marino Poyatos, FCC Medio Am- biente Human Resources, Training and Development Manager, who in- formed all present of progress being made in recruitment. This collabora- tion has already allowed the recruit- ment by FCC Medio Ambiente of 20 people, who have been incorporated as road cleaning workers in weekend and holiday shifts. During the session, the Norte Joven Association shared its project with all attendees and spoke of the activities included in the agreement. At one point of the meeting, the FCC video about the Young North Asso- ciation was announced with the aim of creating awareness amongst the people being tra- ined by the Association, com- pany employees (for them to publicise the project with FCC staff), and society in general. As explained in the video by FCC Medio Ambiente’s HR Di- rector, the agreement includes several lines of activity, such as the hiring of some of the people that are undergoing training in Young North by FCC, either in the placement formats or with a definitive incorporation into the job market. It also includes the possibility of providing specific training and to co-operate on the training content and esta- blish some volunteer activities together with Young North. This will provide guidance for the young people so that they can escape the vulnerable situa- tions they find themselves in. Norte Joven was founded in 1985 for the purpose of promo- ting the social and job integra- tion of the socially disadvanta- ge and works towards the full integration in society of young people ad adults through aca- demic, job, and professional training in different professions.

The day ended with a tour of the fa- cilities of the training centre and the headquarters of Norte Joven, where FCC staff had the opportunity to learn first-hand the activities that are ca- rried out in the different workshops.
