The goal of EMPLEA-Hogar de Cristo is to strengthen the skills and competencies of the most disadvantaged groups excluded from the labor market, most of them with long stories of unemployment and deprivations. Our target population is the first four deciles (40%) of the poorest in Chile, where over 1.6 million from this segment have the potential to become part of the labor market, but they do not have skills or job experience. They need only an opportunity to start over and overcome these obstacles.
Over 3,000 people go through our job training and job placement programs in EMPLEA. Around 1,500 participants get employment once they finish job training: 60% are Women, 25% are immigrants, 10% are people with disabilities, and 22% are elderly. The average cost per participant per program is US$330. In addition, we have successfully launched the first Social Job placement Service in Chile.
