The City Council continues another year with the training of young people through free workshops in Gardening, Electricity, Plumbing and Masonry. Annually, the Consistory trains nearly fifty students in one of these professions that are so in demand today.

The councilor attached to the delegation of Social Services and Social Integration, Maria Aguilar, today received the 16 students who have completed the latest edition of this training program and has also welcomed the students of the first call for 2025.

The municipal responsible has highlighted the great success of these workshops among local companies, which increasingly demand the hiring of these young people who attend our workshops by the level of preparation with which they complete their training.

He has also valued the important work of insertion that is carried out through this initiative, as it offers to learn a profession with a future and an opportunity to access the labor market for young people between 16 and 24 years who have not completed training cycles or who are unemployed.

During the year three editions of these workshops are offered, each of which runs for three months. During this period the students receive 250 hours of training, both theoretical and practical. The latter are carried out in the concessionary companies of the different municipal services, an initiative that allows the students to get in touch with the working world and learn how to solve real incidents and situations that usually arise in the performance of their profession. In addition, they broaden their knowledge by doing social work, carrying out actions in the headquarters of local associations, always under the supervision of a professional.

Also, students who attend the Gardening workshop are instructed in the application of phytosanitary products, an essential qualification for working in this profession. The learning process is completed with information and guidance for the search for employment and informative talks on drug prevention, occupational hazards, and fires in the home, as well as recreational and sports activities.

Those interested in participating in these workshops must pick up their application at the municipal delegation of Social Services, located at 31 San Lorenzo Avenue, and submit it filled out at the City Hall Entrance Registry.
