The Cabildo of Lanzarote approved, in the ordinary plenary session of June, the nomination of subsidies to the town councils for the Employment Plan 2026, an amount that amounts to 1.6 million euros.
The president of the Cabildo of Lanzarote, Oswaldo Betancort, assured that this investment "is one of the priorities of this Government group". "There are many people who, program after program, access employment thanks to the work of the insular area that always ensures the stability of the residents of Lanzarote and La Graciosa," he added.
For his part, the vice-president and head of the Area of Planning and Coordination of Projects, María Jesús Tovar, stressed that the 2026 Employment Plan "is a key tool for continuing to offer job opportunities in all the municipalities of the island, also taking into account objective criteria such as population and the number of unemployed people".
The Minister of Employment, Jesús Machín Tavío, for his part, stated that this year a special effort has been made to provide positive discrimination towards people close to retirement age. "There are many people who need a few months to finish their working life, and plans like this help them to do so," he explained.
