What is retraining?

FREMAP's Professional Rehabilitation program offers training and support to people whose previous work activity cannot continue after a work accident or occupational disease. It constitutes the final phase of the comprehensive recovery process, in which training, emotional support and career guidance are combined to build a new professional project adapted to each situation.

The training programs can be carried out in person at the Vocational Training Center integrated into the FREMAP Complex in Majadahonda (Madrid); or be developed in a virtual format, adapting to the circumstances of the injured workers, to facilitate access for each student.

Following the theoretical and practical training received in the classroom, students will be able to complete 240 hours of non-work placements in companies, thereby improving their employability. Furthermore, they will have the continuous support of the Labor Intermediation Service (SIL) which supports the transition to new professional opportunities and reinforces the confidence that, even in the most difficult times, it is really possible to start over.

Who is it designed for?

Vocational rehabilitation is aimed at all workers who have suffered a work accident or occupational disease and are in one of these three situations:

  • They are on prolonged temporary disability leave, having lost their jobs.
  • They have been recognized as incapacitated by Social Security, and are therefore unable to return to their usual occupation.
  • They have been discharged as cured without a year having passed since the date of the accident or occupational disease.

What does Professional Readaptation include?

Technical and professional training

Training programs that combine theory and practice to acquire new skills adapted to each person's current abilities.

Skills for employability

Training geared towards returning to the labor market: digital skills, active job search, interview preparation, or professional communication.

Customized integration itineraries

An individualized social assessment is carried out that takes into account age, physical sequelae, previous educational level, emotional situation and expectations of each person.

Training with scholarship

The programs may include training and travel grants to facilitate participation, especially in situations of economic vulnerability.

Internships in companies

Students can complete 240 hours of work placements to improve employability, gain real-world experience, and develop professional skills.
