At Lacor Textil, we took part in the opening of the 10th edition of the Talento Aragón Joven (TAJ) program, held at The Wave. This initiative, promoted by HERALDO DE ARAGÓN and ESIC Aragón, once again brings together companies and university students with the aim of highlighting the value of young talent in our region.
In this edition, we are participating for the second consecutive year, reaffirming our commitment to attracting, developing, and supporting emerging talent in Aragon. At Lacor Textil, a company specialized in textile reprocessing and B2B logistics services, we continue to consolidate our growth within the fashion sector, focusing on innovation, continuous improvement, and people development as a strategic pillar.
During the opening session, the acting Vice President of the Government of Aragon, Mar Vaquero, highlighted the growing interest in this congress and the increase in registrations, emphasizing Aragon’s key role as a territory of opportunity for young talent.
Under the title “Talento Aragón Joven: When Talent Clicks”, the importance of people within the organizations of the future was emphasized, as well as the need to go beyond CVs to understand candidates in a more authentic way. In this sense, the program aims to identify talent at its core: what is not always trainable, but can be discovered and nurtured.
A total of 52 university students have been selected as finalists in this edition, taking part in an immersive three-day experience where they live together and engage in activities designed to showcase how they think, work, and interact. Throughout the program, companies and young participants share meeting spaces with the aim of building genuine and lasting connections.
The results of previous editions support the impact of the initiative, with more than 200 meetings between companies and young people, 35 participating companies, 462 finalists, 215 internships awarded, and a high employment continuity rate, with 72% of students remaining in the companies where they completed their internship.
