The Mayor of Santiago del Teide, Emilio Navarro, accompanied by the Councilor for Employment, Krysten Martín, and different members of the government group welcomed the 21 people who will start working over the next 6 months on the project called “Santiago del Teide, Reactiva” promoted by the Cabildo de Tenerife in collaboration with the City Council.
This project has a direct grant from the Cabildo de Tenerife of €249,075.06 through the 2021 call for direct grants to the municipalities of the island of Tenerife aimed at supporting projects that contribute to the achievement of sustainable development objectives at a local level, as well as improving its adaptability and resilience in order to progress in the diversification of the island’s production structure, for which the City Council has contributed €5,000.
The 21 people will work in four well-differentiated branches: on the one hand the socio-health branch, on the other the construction branch, the gardening branch and, finally, the commercial tourist promotion branch as sources of employment in the coming months. and years since, through them, they want to continue with economic and social development in the municipality.
At first, these people were trained in soft skills while, later, they carried out specific and complementary training in masonry courses, basic care of people in need of assistance, in commercial tourism facilitator courses and courses in maintenance of gardens and areas green.
The purpose of the “Santiago del Teide, Reactiva” project is to train unemployed people, many of whom come from other fields and who, therefore, want to access the labor market.
