What FECLEI, Federación Castellanoleonesa de Empresas de Inserción. does

FECLEI (Federación Castellanoleonesa de Empresas de Inserción) is a regional non-profit federation headquartered in Burgos, Spain, that represents and supports 17 member insertion companies (empresas de inserción) across the autonomous community of Castilla y León. Founded in 2001, the federation serves as the unified representative voice for the regional social economy insertion sector, advocating for member companies and providing representation, technical assistance, training, and networking services to support labor market integration for people at risk of social exclusion. Member companies collectively employ over 375 workers, of whom approximately 60-62% are in insertion processes, and operate across activities including textile recycling, agroecology, catering, laundry, and environmental services.

The federation operates as a coordination and advocacy body rather than a technology-driven company, with no proprietary software platform or AI/ML capabilities. Its service portfolio spans representation before the Junta de Castilla y León (especially the Dirección General de Economía Social), advisory and technical assistance, training plans for accompaniment personnel, socio-labor insertion support, research studies, awareness campaigns, and the promotion of social clauses in public contracting. FECLEI holds a statutory seat in the Consejo Regional de Economía Social de Castilla y León (created by Decreto 11/2009) and is a member of the national federation FAEDEI and confederation CEPES.

FECLEI's revenue model is built on membership dues from its 17 member insertion companies and public grants, supplemented by project funding from foundations. Funding sources include the Junta de Castilla y León, the European Social Fund, Fundación la Caixa (which supports the 'Empleo con apoyo para la inserción sociolaboral' project), and Caja de Burgos Obra Social. The organization has 5 employees, is governed by an elected board (President Miguel Santos González, Vice-President Ana Fé Felix Iglesias, Treasurer Charo Sanchez Salgado, Secretary Guillaume Tréguer), and reports program outcomes including a 60% insertion rate into the ordinary labor market and 80.8% job retention rate.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Fundación ONCE: Major Spanish social foundation focused on disability inclusion and labor integration of people with disabilities — runs its own insertion-style pathways. Much larger in scale but addresses an adjacent population within the broader social-inclusion labor market.
• CEPES (Confederación Empresarial Española de la Economía Social): National confederation representing the broader social economy in Spain (cooperatives, mutual societies, insertion companies, special employment centers). FECLEI participates in CEPES regional assemblies and they converge on social-economy advocacy at different levels of scope.
• Cáritas Española: Spain's largest Catholic social services confederation and a major promoter of insertion companies (e.g., Cáritas Diocesana de Zamora promotes Camino de Inserción, Cáritas Palencia promotes Insertando Ilusión — both FECLEI members). Overlaps in serving people at risk of social exclusion through transitional employment.

Emerging players

• REAS Red de Economía Alternativa y Solidaria: Spanish network of solidarity economy entities including cooperatives, insertion companies, and social enterprises. Operates in the same social-economy ecosystem as FECLEI with overlapping values and members, but focuses on alternative/solidarity economics more broadly.

Others

• FEACEM (Federación Empresarial Española de Centros Especiales de Empleo): National federation of special employment centers in Spain. Peer member of ASECYL alongside FECLEI, serving a complementary (rather than competing) constituency — people with disabilities vs. people at risk of social exclusion — within the same regional social economy.
• ASECYL (Asociación de Entidades Representativas de la Economía Social de Castilla y León): Sister regional umbrella of social economy representative bodies in Castilla y León — bringing together insertion companies (FECLEI), special employment centers (FEACEM), and cooperatives. Same geographic scope and stakeholder overlap but a horizontal coordination peer, not a direct competitor.
• EAPN España (Red Europea de Lucha contra la Pobreza y la Exclusión Social): Spanish arm of the European Anti-Poverty Network. FECLEI is a member of its Castilla y León chapter and collaborates on poverty and exclusion advocacy. Adjacent cause-driven organization, not a direct competitor, with overlapping stakeholders and shared policy positioning.

Direct peers

• FAEDEI (Federación de Asociaciones Empresariales de Empresas de Inserción): National federation of regional insertion company associations in Spain. FECLEI is a member and the most direct structural peer — operating at regional level while FAEDEI operates at national level on the same insertion enterprise constituency.
