Each of the modalities has 10 students who will receive theoretical and practical training for 12 months and will receive the minimum interprofessional salary. During this period the students will carry out actions to improve public infrastructure or provide municipal services.

Thus, the students of the gardening mode will focus on the adaptation of the environment of the Séquia Mare to integrate landscape in the future park the garden area and the pine forest. On the other hand, the students of the second block will collaborate and help in the tourist promotion of Benidorm in the information offices and in the Department of Tourism.

Within this program, Benidorm has proposed two training modalities: 'Auxiliary operations of administrative and general services' and 'Auxiliary operations in the organization of activities and operation of sports facilities'.

In each of these modalities, 10 students will be hired, who will receive the minimum interprofessional salary during the 4 months of the program, which also began on December 29.

The 10 students of the first block will provide services of attention and information to the citizen in the social centers and in the offices and departments of the City Council that have their own information points.
