Spanish term or phrase: beneficios de C. C.
This is taken from an explanation of how to set out a business plan. This section is outlining all the things to take into account when calculating staffing expenditure.

Prever otros costes de personal asociado: bajas anticipadas, coste de H. E., indemnizaciones, contratación de E. T. T. gastos de reclutamiento, selección, formación o adiestramiento, beneficios de C. C., etc.

collective agreement benefits
Explanation:
Or "collective bargaining agreement benefits" or "collective employment agreement benefits", as you prefer. Meaning benefits to which staff are entitled under the collective agreement.

C.C. certainly could stand for "círculo(s) de calidad", but "beneficios de círculos de calidad" would surely be benefits enjoyed by the company, whereas this is in a list of staff costs. The benefits here are therefore benefits enjoyed by staff which cost the company money.

In view of this, although we certainly can't be sure that C.C stands for convenio colectivo, it is very much more than a guess. Phil's caution is quite proper, and I don't disagree at all with the idea of asking the client for confirmation, but I think there are ample grounds for suggesting that this is the probable meaning.

As I say, "collective agreement benefits" are obviously a cost. It fits the context perfectly. C.C. is commonly used to mean "convenio colectivo". See here, for example:

"EFICACIA DEL CONVENIO COLECTIVO
Art. 82.3 ET: “Los CC regulados por esta Ley obligan a todos los empresarios y trabajadores incluidos dentro de su ámbito de aplicación durante todo el tiempo de su vigencia”.
http://www.euosuna.org/zonaalumnos/materiales/R39/1282.ppt

And compare:
Art. 82.3 del Estatuto de los Trabajadores
3. Los convenios colectivos regulados por esta Ley obligan a todos los empresarios y trabajadores incluidos dentro de su ámbito de aplicación y durante todo el tiempo de su vigencia"

Explanation:
As we're taking about staffing expenditure it may refer to the benefits obtained from the implementation of "Círculos de Calidad" and the costs of setting them up, supervision, reporting....etc.

agree  Billh: almost certainly but there is the possibility it refers to something else, dunno what though....

  -> Thank, Bill. I'm all for a cautionary note here. Either ask the client or perhaps leave "C.C. benefits" and add a note suggesting what it probably (I'd say very probably) means.

agree  María Eugenia Wachtendorff: Yo lo veo absolutamente claro :)

Capacitaciones


Explanation:
It could well be convenios colectivos but given that it comes after formacion o adiestramiento and given that double syllables often indicate the plural as in RRHH (recursos humanos) or EEUU (Estados Unidos) another possibiity is that it stands for "capacitaciones" i.e. benefits of training.
