The training and employment promotion plans allow the hiring of 142 people

The eight plans and programs of training, employment and promotion that are currently underway in Benidorm, driven by the City Council and supramunicipal administrations through European funds, have allowed the hiring of 142 people. So it has been moved today by the mayor, Toni Pérez, who has approached Murcia street to see how they develop in their new occupation students of the specialty of paving the program 'T'avalem', which are taking care of the replacement of the current sidewalks by other concrete.

The mayor has been accompanied, among others, by the Councilor for Employment and Local Development, Mª Jesús Pinto; the mayor of Escena Urbana, José Ramón González de Zárate; and those responsible for the program in Benidorm.

Pérez has specified that of the 142 people hired, 123 are the students or workers benefited from the programs -and who previously were unemployed-, while the remaining 19 are the teaching professionals or managers who are responsible for each program, plan or workshop . It has also detailed that these projects are reached to citizens with "different profiles of training, age or socioeconomic needs", and highlighted the "incredible diversity" of these programs "which mostly last for twelve months."

Specifically, the projects 'T'avalem', the VI Benidorm Employment Workshop, 'Benidorm INCLUSION', the EMCORP and the ENCORD have an annual duration. All these projects are aimed at children under 30 - some for qualified and others for non-qualified - with the exception of the Employment Workshop, which is for people over 25.

The EMCORP and the EMCORD, on the other hand, are developed over a period of six months and are geared towards the 30-year-old and the other long-term unemployed; while the 'Et Formem' project lasts 4 months and is focused on people at risk of social exclusion.

About the training specialties, these range from the dynamization of free time activities for children and youth to citizen attention, through gardening, paving, masonry or training as a Sports Monitor. In addition, employment promotion programs have involved the hiring of several architects and law graduates, as well as guardians of sports facilities or personnel for the maintenance and conditioning of public spaces.

The mayor has highlighted "the good work done by the Department and the Agency for Employment and Local Development," adding that "this employment policy is involving all administrations." "They are European funds," he said, "channeled through the Government of Spain or the Department of Employment," which adds "the fundamental role of municipalities that provide a part of the investment." In the case of Benidorm, the municipal contribution for the development of these programs exceeds 150,000 euros.
