]ALECOP has fully developed in Kenitra (Morocco) the launching, equipment and management of its Center of Excellence in Training for the IFMIA (Institut de Formation aux Métiers de l’Industrie Automobile) since 2011.

Specifically, we have designed the formative programs of support for the multinational companies in the automotive field established in Kenitra (Saint Gobain, Faurecia and Fujikura, among others).

These programs include a custom-made training for new employees and middle-management, with hands-on practical activities and development of training material in both French and Arab. In addition to that, aiming to reach those workers with low alphabetization and qualification profiles, some material has been developed so it is more visual. This makes easier the knowledge acquisition.

The CLAUT (Automotive Cluster of Nuevo León AC) wants support the transformation of the learning model in the automotive manufacturing field in the State of Nuevo León, by orienting it to the new detected demands. This way a sustainable competitiveness model can be built. The CLAUT has put its trust in ALECOP for the development of this Project. These have been the main objectives of it:

1. Initially define the reach of the viability of the Project of building a specialized technical training center.
2. A basic technical study about the main variables: the building-equipment integration and training solutions (courses, methodology, certifying …)
3. A basic study about the financial model that will ensure its sustainability and adequacy of the strategic objectives under two basic perspectives: for-profit o non-profit foundation, patronage …
4. A suitable governability model with enough support from the workers, so that it is considered a proper employability solution.
5. The business models and governance proposed should be used, in addition to identify the main scenarios, to create a specialized technical training center.

]ALECOP has been the manager for the supplying chain for all the equipment needed for the Mondragon Muhayil College of Excellence, in Saudi Arabia, in record time, less than 3 months.

This center, operated by the MEI (Mondragón Educación Internacional) offers services and training that require specific equipment (office furniture, classrooms, classroom equipment, laboratories, workshops, catering equipment, library furniture and equipment, etc.).

The known international experience of ALECOP in the project deployment of these dimensions has been proven once again given the success in accomplishing the deadlines imposed to start the course on the planned dates.

Through a complete coordination with the client, it has been possible to analyze the needs, define the equipment by spaces, designing its distribution on the different floors, management of the goods acquisition process, organizing all the logistics of the delivery, their installation, inventory management as well as the guaranty and maintenance services of the different products.

ALECOP has been applying its On- and Off-the-job which has co-evolved significantly since the mid sixties until today in the following points: the training model of the societal students that are part-timing, the ways of understanding the internal organization and selection of people inside the companies, the objectives of the PF training centers and Mondragon University (MU), as well as society when it comes to internalize the virtues of this training experience.

50 years of trajectory acquiring our knowledge in On- and Off-the-job training, developing tools for the evolving of the competences of our students in a real environment, guiding them through the employment integration, collaborating with the education centers and communicating with society to enforce the values of cooperation and training. We have collaborated with 150 companies of our cooperative and business environment in order to obtain their objectives, as well as their bonds with the training centers and their social responsibility.

13,000 people, PF and college students, have, with their own effort, completed a practical training in a work environment complementing their academic education. These have acquired an experience based in professional competences and have had the opportunity to self-finance their study fees. Moreover they have participate in the experience of being partners inside MONDRAGON cooperative, and are nowadays an active part of our companies and the society in general.

Our success is the success of these 13,000 people and the companies that have participated and are participating in this experience, this is the success of our business model, the success of a part-time model, which, without a doubt, in the success of the social model we function in.
