The connection of the needs of the labor market with the training that future workers receive is the basis on which the Santa Cruz Impulsa plan is built, with the addition that this connection is fundamentally aimed at people at risk of exclusion. For this, the Santa Cruz City Council has presented this initiative, endowed with 4 million euros, to some thirty entities of the so-called third sector, with which it will work on the types of courses that will be taught. Yesterday, at the Municipal Center for Training and Employment, the different groups were able to hear first-hand the City Council’s plan, as well as provide their first impressions.
As explained by the mayor, José Manuel Bermúdez, who was accompanied by the delegate mayor of the Development Society, Alfonso Cabello, and the Councilor for Social Care, “this is a project where we intend that the world of labor insertion and the world of social services work together to get training and access to a job for people with difficult labor insertion” and recalled that “there are people who have found a job, but who cannot leave social services because it is not enough to get them at the end of the month, so this program intends for people to find work, but also to get out of the spiral of social assistance through qualification and improvement of their skills”.
“The purpose -continued the mayor- is that people are trained and reach the labor market, facilitate a qualification and agree with companies the insertion”.
