This Monday has begun the new Employment Plan of the City Council of Teguise, which has involved the hiring of 40 workers for six months through "different municipal plans and other measures of labor insertion", according to the Consistory. The plan, which was convened last February, has the collaboration of the rest of public administrations and a subsidy from the Canarian Employment Service

The mayor of Teguise, Oswaldo Betancort, and the head of the area, Myriam Jorge, received this Monday in La Villa de Teguise the staff that will carry out different trades throughout the municipality, such as home assistance, community services, ordinances, cleaning laborers, first class bricklayers, second class welders, administrative assistants, construction laborers and second class painters. The investment for this new employment plan "amounts to 287,628 euros, of which 150,183 euros correspond to the City Council's own financing and 137,445 to the subsidy requested", according to the Consistory.

"With the new plan, public institutions contribute a grain of sand to the family economies of the municipality of Teguise, which have been diminished in recent years", said Oswaldo Betancort. In addition, the mayor of Teguise has pointed out that "these people will develop tasks of social utility that will result in benefit of the community and that at the same time suppose a reduction of unemployment in the municipality".

For her part, the councilor of the area has emphasized that "this month another 40 people from the municipality return to the labor market to perform public services". For this, "the City Council requested to take advantage of the subsidy according to the agreement of collaboration between the Canarian Employment Service and the Canarian Federation of Municipalities for the development of tasks of utility and social reintegration", explained Myriam Jorge, who has also announced that before the end of the year, "Teguise plans to launch a new employment plan, either co-financed or with own funds".
