Fundación Colombia Incluyente

What Fundación Colombia Incluyente does

Fundación Colombia Incluyente is a Colombian nonprofit foundation headquartered in Barranquilla and founded in 2012 (originally as Fundación Padre Carlos Valiente, renamed in 2016 to reflect its national scope). The foundation designs and executes labor inclusion routes for vulnerable populations, including communities in poverty, victims of armed conflict, ethnic communities, Venezuelan migrants, women, youth, LGBTIQ+ individuals, and people with disabilities. Its service portfolio centers on the RIMLE 4.0 methodology (Ruta de Inclusión y Mejoramiento Laboral), co-developed with Gente Estratégica Centro de Formación para el Trabajo over more than 16 years, complemented by Ruta Manglar (environmental training), Ruta de Paz y Convivencia (peacebuilding), and Influencers de Vida (youth leadership). It also operates an authorized Employment Agency (Agencia de Gestión y Colocación de Empleo) under Resolución No. 0254 de 2025, functioning as a 100% virtual service point within the national Servicio Público de Empleo network.

The foundation does not sell to end users; all employment agency services are provided free of charge to both job seekers and employers. Its funding and operating model is structured around public-private alliances and international cooperation agreements, with named partners including USAID, PNUD, OIM, the Clinton Foundation, ACDI Voca, Fundación Corona/GOYN, Colombia's DPS and Mintrabajo, SENA, Alcaldía de Bogotá, Gobernación del Atlántico, Alcaldía de Barranquilla, and corporate partners such as Sodimac, APPLUS, and Blumer. GTM is community-led and event-driven, combining in-person job fairs in Bogotá, Barranquilla, Cali, Cartagena, Malambo, and Cúcuta with digital registration, social media outreach, and virtual matching through the Tu Enlace Laboral portal. The organization differentiates through a certified regulatory license, a multi-decade proprietary methodology with outcome-based payment mechanisms, and a broad institutional partner ecosystem spanning multilateral donors, government agencies, and private-sector employers across Colombia.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Mercy Corps Colombia: International humanitarian NGO operating in Colombia with programs on livelihoods, peacebuilding, and migration. Comparable in serving Venezuelan migrants and conflict-affected populations through donor-funded programming.
• SENA (Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje): Colombia's national vocational training agency, a direct channel partner of FCI, that delivers large-scale workforce training and employment services nationwide. Comparable in mission (labor inclusion through training) but vastly larger in scope and government-backed.

Direct peers

• Fundación Corona: Colombian foundation that co-runs the GOYN (Global Opportunity Youth Network) program and partners with FCI on women-in-construction training. Directly comparable as a private foundation executing labor inclusion and youth employment programs.
• Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo (PNUD) Colombia: UN agency running RECORRER and similar peacebuilding/employment programs in Colombia with FCI as implementing partner. Comparable in mission and beneficiary groups, though functions more as a donor than operator.
• Gente Estratégica Centro de Formación para el Trabajo: FCI's founding strategic partner and licensor of the RIMLE methodology. Operates the Tu Enlace Laboral portal and runs parallel employability programs in Colombia, sharing FCI's core method and target beneficiary groups.

Regional players

• Comfama: Colombian family compensation fund running large-scale employment, training, and social inclusion programs primarily in Antioquia. Comparable in employment agency operations and inclusive hiring services, though regionally focused.

Emerging players

• Acción contra el Hambre Colombia: International humanitarian organization operating in Colombia with programs addressing livelihoods, migration, and inclusion. Comparable in serving vulnerable populations including Venezuelan migrants via project-based donor funding.
• ACDI/VOCA Colombia: International economic development NGO and long-standing FCI partner, running similar economic inclusion routes for vulnerable youth in Colombia. Comparable in targeting vulnerable populations, training delivery, and donor-funded model.
• Fundación Panamericana para el Desarrollo (PADF): International NGO working in Latin America on workforce development and migration response. Comparable in labor inclusion focus, donor-funded model, and vulnerable-population targeting.

Others

• ManpowerGroup Colombia: Commercial employment agency operating in Colombia, part of a global staffing network. Comparable as an employment-placement channel, but represents the commercial alternative to FCI's free, donor-funded model.
