The project, co-financed by the Cabildo de Tenerife and the Canary Islands Employment Service (SCE), has a financing of 1.6 million euros and includes the hiring of these sixty young people and another ten unemployed people as support in the training and labor processes
The IASS provides 60 unemployed youth with their first work experience with one-year internship contracts through this project, called Noemiass. The other ten jobs created are related to tutoring the participants in the work activity. They will also be occupied by unemployed people in this case without age limitation.
During the presentation of the first training session, Marián Franquet highlighted the importance of these types of projects because they combine work and training. The counselor believes that “the opportunity is given for young people with degrees and theoretical training to put what they have learned into practice, while at the same time acquiring work experience to incorporate into their curriculum.” Franquet adds: “In addition, they earn income from their work.”
Franquet explains that “the jobs that these people will fill are qualified, with very diverse professional profiles.” Among them are jurists, physiotherapists, speech therapists, social workers or industrial electronics engineers, who will carry out their work mainly in the Unit for Dependency Care and will be distributed among the different IASS centers throughout the Island. This is the case of the Los Dolores Hospital, in La Laguna, the Santísima Trinidad Hospital, in Icod de Los Vinos or the Reina Sofía Camp in Güímar, among other centers ».
The also president of the IASS emphasizes the social work of the Institute and underlines: “Changing and improving the quality of life of people who suffer difficulties is a goal.” In this sense, he points out that the Noemiass project seeks that unemployed people can access quality work, with good working conditions. He hopes that its implementation will allow those hired in internships “to consolidate their vocation thanks to this experience.”
The Noemiass project, which is managed by the Insular Institute of Social and Socio-Health Care, has a total budget of 1,667,227 euros, of which 71 percent is provided by the Canarian Employment Service and the remaining 29 percent finances it the Cabildo de Tenerife, through the IASS.
The 60 people selected to access these jobs will receive 65% of the salary established according to the collective agreement for personnel hired by the Tenerife Island Council, within the framework of Special Plans, Internships, Programs or Collaboration Agreements with other organizations and institutions, to carry out works or services of general interest (2019-2022). The project will end, after one year of validity, on October 31, 2022.
