As part of Fundación Moeve's corporate volunteering program and coordinated by Volies, the initiative — which is now in its second year — included the participation of five female volunteers from Moeve. The workshop once again had a speed-dating format, an effective method for developing employability skills with hands-on practice, offering a real-world setting where participants can practice interviews, receive direct guidance, and build their confidence at a critical stage of the job-hunting process.
Prior to the workshop, the Moeve volunteers received online training to help them facilitate the process and provide participants with better guidance during the session. Their involvement was key to the workshop’s success. Each participant from Atelsam Mental Health had the opportunity to conduct several mock interviews with different volunteers, which allowed them to hear different perspectives and put the volunteers' tips into practice in real time. As the exercise was repeated several times in a safe environment, it was an effective learning experience.
Unlike other, more theoretical settings, these workshops focus on hands-on experience: doing, putting into practice, and perfecting, with friendly personalized guidance tailored to each individual. Thanks to this approach, the women who participate gain confidence and strengthen their skills, enabling them to navigate hiring processes with greater self-assurance.
