The government team of the Tías City Council presented this week the project called Tías promoting diversity and inclusive employment: 2024-2025, framed in the Social Employment Program (PES). This project has allowed the hiring of 17 unemployed people for one year.
The hiring is the result of the agreement with the Canarian Employment Service (SCE), which grants the City Council a direct subsidy of 355,252.91 euros, "for the development of useful tasks and reintegration" within the framework of collaboration between the SCE and the Canarian Federation of Municipalities. The framework agreement is financed with funds from the Comprehensive Employment Plan of the Canary Islands 2024 (PIEC 2024), as well as with funds from the Sectoral Conference.
The mayor, José Juan Cruz, the first deputy mayor, Nicolás Saavedra, the councilor for Employment, Carmen Gloria Rodríguez, the councilor for Human Resources, Tomás Silvera, and the rest of the corporation, welcomed the 17 people from the municipality who were unemployed and started this week a new work activity in different departments of the consistory, such as Roads and Works, Social Services and Culture, among others.
José Juan Cruz encouraged the new workers to "take the opportunity to reactivate themselves professionally and improve their employability, while explaining that the project has been divided into two sub-projects to be able to hire people over 45 years of age without sufficient contributions to access the retirement benefit".
According to the resolution of the Government of the Canary Islands, "this extraordinary measure responds to the economic and social difficulties that certain groups of Canarians are going through, who are deprived of the essential means to cover their basic needs".
