In the year ahead, one hundred jobless individuals from Candelaria will be employed by the local council through five employment training initiatives. The municipal and regional administrations are set to invest 2,079,940 euros, as disclosed yesterday by the municipal authority led by Mari Brito.
Specifically, these five initiatives will commence between March and April. Formally, they are termed Training Programmes in Alternation with Employment, identified in this instance as Candelaria Culture, Candelaria Auxiliaries 2, Candelaria Take Care 4, Candelaria Tourism 3, and Candelaria Dress.
Participants will receive training in data management, event coordination, customer service, textile production and health care.
The projects, spanning a variety of fields such as culture, administration, social health care, tourism, and textile manufacturing, will deliver specialised training over a period of 11 months to the participants, all of whom will also hold an employment contract. This initiative aims to equip beneficiaries with the essential skills for successful integration into the job market, enabling them to embark on fruitful professional careers.
Among those selected, twenty will be young individuals under the age of thirty.
The one hundred workers engaged in this suite of employment projects will receive a blend of practical and theoretical training, facilitating skill development in areas including event coordination, customer service, data management, healthcare, and textile production.
In the announcement made yesterday, the Candelaria City Council indicated that the selection process is conducted in collaboration with the Canarian Employment Service (SCE) through a mixed commission. Individuals interested in participating are encouraged to reach out to the SCE to express their intention to join the training opportunity.
Funding
The mayor of Villa Mariana, Mari Brito, elaborated that this project, slated for execution throughout this year and extending into 2026, “involves an investment exceeding two million euros,” with the Canarian Employment Service contributing 1,797,940 euros, complemented by a municipal funding of 282,000 euros. “This initiative will directly benefit a total of 100 unemployed residents in the municipality through their training contracts,” including 20 young people under the age of 30.
Mari Brito underscored the significance of these five initiatives for Candelaria’s future. From her viewpoint, “this investment not only fosters employment but also fortifies the productive fabric of our municipality, enhancing the quality of life for our residents.” In this context, the mayor advocated for a focus on nurturing the talents of young individuals in Candelaria, aiming for their contribution to the community’s advancement.
