The Employment area of the Cabildo of Lanzarote and the Santa María la Real Foundation will collaborate to develop a training program and green skills aimed at the tourism sector of the island, under the name of "Green Territory", the Cabildo anticipates.
"For the development of this initiative, the island corporation will allocate a total of 24,447 euros" charged to the Canary Islands Development Funds (FDCAN), as approved in plenary last Tuesday, April 11, they affirm.
"In order to favor the labor insertion of groups in a situation of unemployment"
"The objective is to offer a training and employment program in the field of tourism, in order to favor the labor insertion of groups in a situation of unemployment, as well as to contribute to the improvement of the qualification of employed people, and of companies and entrepreneurs in the tourism sector who want to develop more sustainable work models with the territory", explains Councilor Jorge Peñas.
Specifically, "the program will be aimed at a total of 50 participants, both for unemployed people and professionals working in the tourism, hospitality or related sectors, social economy entities that seek to promote sustainability projects, and entrepreneurs who wish to promote a green economy project", they state.
"The training will be based on practical and participatory methodologies"
In addition, they add that "the training will be based on practical and participatory methodologies, fostering synergies between the participating people/working groups, who will develop a set of activities that will allow them to acquire skills for decision-making and implementation of plans and strategies for innovation and transformation systems in green and circular economy".
It also includes: training in green skills, advisory sessions for the generation and co-creation of initiatives and participation in a Hackathon that "will consist of a shared space combining synergies and proposing new business and innovation possibilities to respond to the environmental challenges derived from tourism", they make clear from the City Council.
