The Cabildo of Lanzarote has constituted the monitoring committees of the three employment agreements that it carries out with the Canarian Employment Service (SCE) and with Gesplan, and through which work will be given to 176 unemployed people in Lanzarote.
The Councilor for Employment and European Affairs of the Cabildo of Lanzarote, Juan Carlos Becerra, has led the three meetings that have been held and whose purpose was to coordinate the work of implementing the agreements. In addition to the councilor, the deputy director of the SCE, Juan Camejo, the director of Gesplan, Jesús Morales, and technicians from the three administrations involved and the seven municipalities of the island were present at the different meetings.
A total of 176 jobs
The first agreement contemplates the creation of 103 jobs and aims to work on a cleaning campaign of road margins on the island's road network. Gesplan will be in charge of managing this project, which has a budget of 1,000,000 euros, of which 870,000 are provided by the Canarian Employment Service and the rest by the Cabildo.
In addition, with a budget of 56,835.56 euros provided by the SCE, an extraordinary labor insertion program will be carried out, aimed at people in social exclusion or at risk of suffering from it, and people with disabilities. This agreement will last 6 months and those hired may be full-time or part-time, with a working day of 75 percent. This project will create the employment of about 50 people.
The third agreement is aimed at pruning palm trees, gardening work and tidying up roads at the entrance to towns, roundabouts, or public spaces of interest, in coordination with the town halls. Precisely to speed up this point, both the Cabildo and GESPLAN have asked the town councils to send a list in which they prioritize the actions they want to carry out in each municipality and that will employ 23 people.
