Fundación Juan Ramón Guillén is committed to projects that contribute to increase the training of professionals in rural areas, paying special attention to those who operate with the olive sector. We want this to have an impact on increasing the quality and professionalism of the sector in general.
We are also committed to recovering lost crafts, restoring the figure of the apprentice and the promotion of rural employment.
SOLIDARIOS COOSUR
The Solidarios Coosur program, developed in collaboration with the Randstad Foundation, was launched in 2014 to promote the social and labor integration of people with disabilities and those in vulnerable situations. It is a long-term training, guidance, and advisory program that has already benefited more than 1.150 people.
The project has been adapted over time to meet participants’ needs, seeking to match profiles with the types of jobs in demand in Andalusia. The training courses offered have evolved into the current approach: short, highly specific courses with a strong focus on employment. We design tailor-made, highly practical training programs, some of them pioneering, such as a course for assistant leisure and free-time monitors for people with mild intellectual disabilities, and a course for leisure and free-time activity coordinators for deaf people taught in sign language.
We prioritize training initiatives aimed at professionalizing the olive-growing sector, in order to support generational renewal and prevent depopulation in rural areas. In addition to in-person training, we are also committed to online training, which allows us to expand our reach and increase the number of beneficiaries.

This program was born in 2016, thanks to the collaboration of the Randstad Foundation and the Acesur group, in order to facilitate the employment integration of people with disabilities in ordinary companies.
So far, two editions have been held. The first was in 2016, when 15 participants were trained as warehouse assistants through theoretical and practical learning that enabled them to carry out tasks such as reception, dispatch of loads and unloadings, and the operation of a forklift, among others. In the 2017 edition the project focused on hospitality , because it is a sector with high demand for labor in Seville. A total of 10 people with different types of disabilities underwent the theoretical-practical training of a professional waiter given by the Cruzcampo Foundation Hospitality School, including professional practices in different establishments in the city.

Andalusians Sharing for Employment is a project promoted by the Fundación Cajasol y LANDALUZ, developed thanks to the collaboration of the Juan Ramón Guillén, Randstad foundations and the Escuela de Hostelería de Fundación Cruzcampo. The initiative is created with the aim of increasing the employability of people at risk of social exclusion and with disabilities and thus facilitate their integration into the labor market.
The first edition of Andalusians Sharing for Employment, developed in 2018 and in which 8 people took a professional room waiter course, concluded with the hiring of 100% of the participants. Due to the success registered, in 2019 the training was repeated, doubling the number of beneficiaries. In both editions, students have participated in a speed job dating with managers of hotel and restaurant establishments in Seville. This formula allows students to approach the main companies in the sector through short job interviews with those responsible for Human Resources and Selection of collaborating entities.
