The Cabildo of Lanzarote has launched this Monday the youth employment program 'Lanzarote Sostenible 2', by which it has proceeded to hire 106 unemployed people for six months. The project will be developed until next June and has a budget of 758,115.08 euros.
As explained by the Minister of Employment of the first Island Corporation, Manuel Cabrera, this program has a double objective. On the one hand, to facilitate training aimed at acquiring basic skills that facilitate obtaining the ESO title and professional certificates. On the other hand, to undertake tasks of conditioning, cleaning and maintenance of natural spaces on the island.
To this end, the 86 participating student-workers, all under 30 years of age, will have the advice and support of 20 technicians also hired within the framework of this program, including seven foremen, four engineers, a technical architect, a psychologist, a social worker and an administrative assistant. On the other hand, they will receive training classes, two days a week, from five adult education teachers.
The counselor encouraged the student workers to take advantage of their participation in this program, "not only because they will carry out a very important action for this island such as undertaking its cleaning, but also because it will enable them to train, something very important for their labor insertion and that it would be good to continue doing continuously in the future, as it will undoubtedly facilitate their incorporation into the labor market."
'Lanzarote Sostenible 2' is structured in four lines of action -road, environmental, coastal and municipal- and is co-financed by the European Social Fund through the Youth Employment Operational Program framed within the National Youth Guarantee System of the Ministry of Employment and Social Security, the Canarian Employment Service and the Cabildo of Lanzarote.
