The Arrecife City Council has hired 42 people, who were previously unemployed, to join the municipal staff for the next eight months. These hires are part of the 'Arrecife Activa 2023' project, thanks to a grant from the Canarian Employment Service.
The capital's mayor has highlighted the importance of this new social employment plan, the first to be launched in this new term, thanks to the boost in labor matters promoted by his government team. According to de León, "with this employment plan, these 42 people will have economic resources for their families for the next eight months and can, in parallel, improve and increase their personal qualifications to achieve other job opportunities in the companies of Lanzarote after this work period in the Consistory."
For his part, the Councilor for Employment, Maciot Cabrera, emphasized that "promoting employment and enhancing training to facilitate access to the labor market is one of the main objectives of the Area I lead, so we will continue to support all those job-generating projects that incorporate training plans that improve the employability of the participants."
