Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves4 records

Broad incumbents

• SEPE (Servicio Público de Empleo Estatal): SEPE is Spain's national public employment service providing unemployment benefits, job placement, and training nationwide — comparable as a public-sector workforce agency serving overlapping populations but operating at national rather than municipal scale.
• Pôle Emploi / France Travail: France Travail (formerly Pôle Emploi) is France's national public employment agency delivering job placement, training, and unemployment support — highly comparable as a European public employment services model serving similar vulnerable-worker populations.

Emerging players

• Goodwill Industries International: Large nonprofit operating workforce development, job training, and placement programs for disadvantaged populations across the U.S. and globally — comparable as a mission-driven employment activation model for vulnerable job seekers.
• Fundación Integra: Spanish foundation focused on labor market integration of people at risk of social exclusion through training and employer partnerships — comparable as a Spain-based nonprofit serving a similar vulnerable-worker mission.
• Adecco Foundation (Fundación Adecco): Spain-focused foundation providing employment support, training, and job placement for people with disabilities and other barriers to employment — comparable as a workforce-integration program for vulnerable populations, though operated by a private-sector affiliate.
• Fundación Santa María la Real: Spanish nonprofit operating the Lanzaderas de Empleo program for unemployed workers' reintegration via training and coaching — comparable as a Spain-focused nonprofit employment activation program targeting vulnerable job seekers.

Direct peers

• Barcelona Activa: Barcelona Activa is the municipal agency that co-operates LÀBORA and runs adjacent employment, training, and entrepreneurship programs for Barcelona residents — directly comparable as the parent operating arm for workforce services in the same city.
• Ajuntament de Barcelona — Serveis Socials: The Social Services department of Barcelona City Council co-manages LÀBORA and operates parallel social inclusion programs for vulnerable Barcelona residents — directly comparable as the sister public program within the same parent authority.
