The Metropolitan Area of Barcelona has launched an interactive map that collects resources for the employment inclusion of people with disabilities in the 36 municipalities, including Montcada i Reixac.
The Metropolitan Area of Barcelona (AMB) has launched the 'Map for the Employment Inclusion of People with Disabilities', an interactive tool that centralises the resources available in the 36 metropolitan municipalities, including Montcada i Reixac. The aim is to facilitate access to the job market for people with disabilities and those with mental health disorders, both for job seekers and for companies and entities in the area.
The map, available on the AMB website, includes job orientation services, vocational training, mediation with companies, supported employment, and assistance during the integration processes. It also provides information on hiring aids and incentives, specialised entities, and resources aimed at companies looking to advance in employment inclusion. In Montcada i Reixac, users will be able to locate the nearest services and access contact details and hours.
The tool is aimed at citizens, professional teams, third sector entities, and companies committed to creating inclusive work environments. According to AMB sources, the initiative aims to become a reference point for all individuals and organisations working to promote more accessible employment, foster networking, and raise awareness of existing resources.
The map is created with the intention of improving coordination among the various agents in the area. Until now, information on employment inclusion resources for people with disabilities was scattered across multiple websites and channels. With this new tool, the AMB unifies the data in one space, making it easier for both individuals and professionals in the field to search.
For people with disabilities in Montcada i Reixac, the map can represent a significant advancement in finding work. Users can filter by type of resource, municipality, or area of action, and obtain detailed information about each service. Additionally, the tool includes a keyword search that allows users to quickly locate what they need.
The Montcada i Reixac City Council has positively assessed the initiative, as they consider that employment inclusion is a priority in the municipality. Although the council did not participate directly in the development of the map, it has collaborated by providing data on local resources. The AMB plans to update the information regularly to keep it current.
The map also offers information about third sector entities working in the field of disability in the Vallès Occidental region. In Montcada i Reixac, there are several associations and municipal services that support employment inclusion, such as the Montcada Employment Service (SOM) or entities like the Montcada i Reixac Association of People with Disabilities. All of them can appear on the map if they apply.
The tool is presented as a dynamic resource, as users can suggest new entities or services to be included. In this way, the AMB hopes that the map will grow and be enriched by contributions from citizens and organisations.
For companies in Montcada i Reixac interested in hiring people with disabilities, the map provides information on available tax incentives and grants. It also includes examples of best practices and links to corporate social responsibility programmes.
The AMB has reminded that employment inclusion is a right enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. With this map, the aim is to take a step forward in making this right effective in the metropolitan area of Barcelona, with Montcada i Reixac playing an active role as an involved municipality.
The map can be freely consulted from the AMB website, without the need for prior registration. The metropolitan body has announced that training sessions will be held in the coming months to introduce the tool to professionals in the sector.
