El Taller de Empleo Benidorm XII realiza obras de mejora de la accesibilidad y movilidad en la calle Invierno

The workers of Benidorm XII Building and Civil Works Employment Workshop are carrying out works to improve accessibility and traffic on Invierno Street and La Pipa Street. This is an action in which new lugs are being created on the sidewalks and a new tactile pavement is being placed to facilitate orientation for people with visual disabilities.

This pavement consists of the installation of strips with a different relief surface that is used to be perceived more easily by the feet, guide sticks or other support elements of blind people.

The execution of the works will be finished before the end of the year, just when the Employment Workshop, which lasts one year, also concludes. At this moment ten people are working in the Building and Civil Works branch of this Benidorm XII Employment Workshop and their work has been visited this morning by the mayor Toni Pérez, accompanied by the councillors for Employment and Urban Scene, Mónica Gómez and Francis Muñoz.

The workshop has a subsidy of 532,480.80 euros from Labora for the training of twenty workers for one year who, upon completion of the workshop, will obtain the corresponding professional certificate. In addition to the Building and Civil Works speciality, which has ten workers, the employment workshop also offered the Administration and Management speciality, in which ten workers also participating.

The Building and Civil Works workshop began on December 30 and will continue until December 26 of this year. There will be 1,920 hours of training. Participants in this Building and Civil Works speciality have received training in Auxiliary operations of rigid finishes and urbanization and paving and urbanization masonry.

According to the mayor, “there are now twelve Employment Workshops that the City Council has promoted to improve the employability possibilities of the participants, “being aware that the labour market is increasingly demanding and requires profiles that can prove formal training or qualifications such as those that the students of ‘Benidorm XII’ can obtain at the end of the programme”

The participating workers, Toni Pérez explained, “have been combining theoretical training with practice, so that during the twelve months that the workshop lasts they can deploy on the ground the knowledge they have acquired in the classroom”. Likewise, the mayor highlighted that one of the main objectives of these initiatives is “to facilitate access to the working life of these people, an objective that we are achieving not only at the time of labour insertion but also in terms of an improvement in the training of unemployed workers”.
