cooperative companies, when ULGOR achieved 30% of profits on sales and in Ederlan it was just the 3%. The new business group stated in the second article of its regulations that its corporate purpose was to guarantee "the budgets of the modern company with the appropriate technical, financial and commercial deployment". Student's Industrial Cooperative Arizmendiarrieta developed the project to create an industrial cooperative for the students of the Professional School with a double purpose. On the one hand, to provide students with limited economic resources the possibility of paying for their High Level Vocational Cycle studies. And on the other, promoting dual training through theoretical and practical classes at the School, and the experience of working in a real company. In November 1965, he began the procedures for the administrative recognition of the company Alecoop (Cooperative School Labor Activity), which became official in April 1966. The industrial purpose of the company was the manufacture and sale of auxiliary tools for mechanical workshops, electrical and installations for industrial assemblies, according to commissions or own study projects. The students would work in a cooperative regime for half a day, which had to be compatible with the school demands of the partners. Women's Industrial Cooperative In all cooperatives, women's participation was subject to rights equal to those of men. But in the mid-1960s, Arizmendiarrieta's concern for the labor emancipation of women became more apparent, since the limit of women's participation in work was marriage. In the cooperatives, the institutional associative link was the “partnership contract” and not the usual work contract, so the single members saw it terminated once they got married. For Arizmendiarrieta, marriage was almost a sentence of exile for women, which separated them from social life, and often tended to increase couple problems. To improve the situation, Arizmendiarrieta, on the one hand promoted the construction of a female pavilion for classrooms and laboratories at the School, which would allow young female students to study chemistry and electronics. On the other hand, he promoted in parallel the creation of a women's industrial cooperative, founding the Auzo Lagun company in November 1967. Its activity is the direct catering service or prepared on site for schools, companies, residences and hospitals. Cooperative Research Center Arizmendiarrieta was aware of the technological dependency implied by the acquisition of patents abroad, and more specifically that of electronic semiconductors in Germany and that of electrical appliances in Italy.
