Problems Targeted

In Latin America the unemployment rate of persons with disabilities is very high, but they are unable to use mainstream job portals.

Solution, Innovation and Impact

Headquartered in Buenos Aires, Incluyeme.com operates in seven other countries of Latin America: Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay. Jobseekers can sign up on the portal, upload their resume, and start applying for available jobs as per their interests. Incluyeme also provides various courses to job seekers through a platform called Capacitacion Inclusiva. Incluyeme offers a job listing platform to companies that are interested in hiring people with disabilities, and provides them with workshops to improve their work culture. Over 1,000 job opportunities are posted every year from more than 500 companies, including Accenture, IBM, Microsoft, Siemens, and Unilever. The company itself also hires people with disabilities and works with NGOs to create new solutions and get feedback on content, such as its educational courses. From 2013 to 2020 more than 1,900 people with disabilities have found employment through the job portal.

Funding, Outlook and Transferability

Incluyeme charges membership fees and provides consulting services. The company has been cash-flow positive since 2016 and is reinvesting all proceeds to increase reach and impact. Incluyeme.com was chosen as one of the top ten social start-ups in Latin America by Ashoka, and its founder was selected as one of 2020's Young Global Leaders by the World Economic Forum. By 2025, Incluyeme aims to employ more than 500 people with disabilities per month while working with 2,000 companies.
