General objective:

Acquisition and improvement of skills for people with ASD and/or intellectual disability in a situation of unemployment through their training in professional activities linked to green employment and the ecological transition.

Specific objectives:

• To increase the employability of people with Autism and/or Intellectual Disability, through dual training in skills for the development of a professional activity linked to green employment and the ecological transition.
• To transmit values such as respect, care and the enhancement of our Natural Heritage in people with Autism and/or Intellectual Disabilities, to young people and to society in general.
• To promote an inclusive culture, equal opportunities and the ability to have an impact on the environment of the most vulnerable groups and those at risk of social exclusion.

The project is structured in three phases:

1. An initial phase of PREPARATION. Through the Career Guidance Service of the Bata Autism Association, we will carry out interviews to detect training and employment needs, evaluate professional profiles and the design of candidate reports and previous insertion reports. This first phase will provide us with valuable and necessary information for the design and development of the personalized work itineraries and the Individual Support Plans for each of the people participating in the project (people with Autism and/or Intellectual Disability).
2. A second phase of FACE-to-FACE TRAINING. Taking as a reference the training program adapted in the professional sector; RECOVERY AND CONSERVATION OF NATURAL HERITAGE AND MARITIME-TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS, we are going to develop a 270-hour training action that provides the necessary knowledge and skills to the participants, for the subsequent development of professional activities during the contracting phase, in the different natural environments that are the object of action; To know and locate the natural heritage and its ecosystems, to identify and remove invasive alien species present in our territory, to recover biodiversity in maritime-terrestrial ecosystems, to build and rehabilitate infrastructures in protected areas, to know and use the methodology for adaptation and improvement of cognitive accessibility and to design and develop environmental education and volunteering days.
3. Finally, the HIRING PHASE (learning by working). The BATALLEIROS project will create 8 jobs for people with Autism and/or Intellectual Disability with the professional profile of OPERATOR FOR THE RECOVERY AND CONSERVATION OF NATURAL HERITAGE AND MARITIME-TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS.

In the social economy company, BATA Servicios Integrales a la Comunidad (Special Employment Centre), the people hired are going to join the different Labour Brigades that today, and since 2017, are developing actions for the recovery and conservation of biodiversity and the restoration of natural heritage, through work and services contracts with City Councils, Xunta de Galicia, the Atlantic Islands of Galicia National Park, the Commonwealth of the Salnes Region and public companies such as Tragsa or Seaga.
