The San Bartolomé City Council has concluded its Employment Alternation Training Programs (PFAE) that for 11 months have offered training to 30 people residing in the municipality.
Of this total number of students, 15 have obtained the professional certificate in socio-health care for people at home, and another 15 have obtained the certificate in dynamization of leisure and free educational time for children and young people.
In addition, 10 professionals, divided into two multidisciplinary teams: pedagogues, social worker, socio-health technicians, animation technicians, social educator, administrative staff, infant educators, etc., have benefited from a contract during the aforementioned 11 months.
The mayor, Isidro Pérez, has detailed that these actions "have had an impact on the social fabric of the municipality, since the participants have improved their professional experience through real and effective work."
Socio-health services and dynamization
"PFAE San Bartolomé with People II" and "PFAE San Bartolomé Dinamiza 2" have been the two initiatives launched, plans that, promoted and organized by the Department of Employment and the Local Employment and Development Agency of the City Council, are projects aimed at unemployed people where learning and qualification alternate with public works and services of public utility and social interest in the community.
The first of these has addressed the socio-health services of care for people at home through domestic and hygienic-personal and food actions, such as those to improve the autonomy and quality of life of people with social actions.
For its part, the "PFAE San Bartolomé Dinamiza 2" has involved the dynamization of residents, youth groups, children and the elderly in the open spaces of the municipality and through its entire network of social, educational and cultural centers.
This project is financed by the Government of the Canary Islands through the Canarian Employment Service, with an allocation of 327,188.06 euros, and it is estimated that some 140 people in the municipality have already benefited from these public employment-training programs.
