What Ccs - Consorzio Cooperative Sociali does

CCS - Consorzio Cooperative Sociali is a cooperative consortium headquartered in Selvazzano Dentro (Padova), Italy, founded in 1993. It unites eight member social cooperatives — MEA, L'Iride, Emmanuel, Agrimea, Riesco, SOBON, Spazioelle, and Provate — delivering integrated disability support, vocational training, and employment services across the Veneto region (Padova, Vicenza, Venezia, Rovigo). The consortium's flagship offering is the Habile platform, an integrated service framework structured around six life dimensions: abitare (housing), lavorare (working), curare (care), imparare (learning), divertirsi (leisure), and muoversi (mobility). Habile Lavoro, the employment-focused module, supports companies in fulfilling Italian Law 68/99 disability hiring obligations through job coaching, training, recruiting, and consulting. Complementary service lines include the Voucher Rafforzato regional disability employment program, the GOL (Garanzia di Occupabilità Lavoratori) employment guarantee program, Diversity Job Coaching (72 hours funded by Veneto Region), and consulting on Article 14 equivalent commissions. Direct employment social enterprises include Riesco (4,000 meals/day catering), SOBON (organic bakery), Agrimea (agriculture), and Provate (digital/IT services).

CCS operates as a non-profit entity funded primarily by Regione Veneto through dual accreditations — Ente di Formazione (Code A0065) and Servizi al Lavoro (Code L034) — plus EU FSE/FESR program grants and regional disability employment funds. Its go-to-market is community-led, reaching beneficiaries through public employment centers (Centri per l'Impiego), social districts (Ambiti Territoriali Sociali), ULSS healthcare authorities, and direct outreach via GOL/Voucher Rafforzato pipelines. Notable corporate clients participating in inclusion events include Sonepar Italia and ITALCHIMICA. The consortium has been awarded multiple multi-year regional projects including H.O.W. (2018), N-H.O.W. (2019), L.E.G.O. (2021), SI.FA. (2023), and Primi 1000 Giorni (2024), the last representing an expansion into family and early childhood support beyond the original disability mandate.
