8. TANTAKA INCLUSION
Inclusion can only be achieved through the employment rate of people with disabilities . In the 2013-2014 academic year, the project Tantaka Inclusion was born with the goal to provide training internships to people with disabilities in order to give them the opportunity to fill in their experience through internships for a few months in a professional environment. The tutors of the associations and those in charge of the University identify the possible work positions and match them to the skills of people with disabilities.
We have 5 agreements signedwith Navarre associations that have as goal the employment rate of people with disabilities: Avanvida, association Síndrome de Down, Fundación Aspace Navarra para el employment, high school Hijas de Jesús (Jesuitinas) and COCEMFE Navarra.
Thanks to these agreements, 7 interns have been at the University of Navarra since September 2013.
