The Sagunto City Council has hired five unemployed individuals through three Labora programmes, with an investment of €126,134. The contracts aim to promote the labour integration of groups facing special difficulties.
The Sagunto City Council has welcomed the five unemployed individuals it has hired thanks to three Labora programmes, the Valencian employment service. The initiative, focused on social inclusion, has an investment of €126,134, of which €97,498 comes from the regional grant.
The new workers will develop projects of general and social interest, as well as reinforce various municipal departments. These hires aim to improve the job skills of those who find it more difficult to access the labour market, contributing to social cohesion and local economic development.
Within the ETRAME programme, a nine-month contract has been formalised for an individual referred by the intervention team of the Mental Health Care and Monitoring Service (SASEM). Additionally, two individuals under thirty have been hired for ten months to carry out works and services of general interest in different municipal areas, under the EMCORP programme.
On the other hand, through EMDONA, two unemployed women have been hired for a period of ten months, a programme that seeks equality of opportunities and the reduction of inequalities in access to employment.
The Mayor of Sagunto, Darío Moreno, and the Councillor for Economic Promotion, Raúl Palmero, welcomed the new employees on Wednesday. Moreno highlighted that these programmes are “an opportunity not to be left out of the labour market” and called for the recovery of the funding they had before, because “there is a need”.
Palmero, for his part, emphasised the social inclusion value of these initiatives and encouraged the hired individuals to make the most of the experience. “I wish the subsidies were broader and we received much more money, because we could hire many more people,” he lamented.
The Sagunto City Council will continue to collaborate with Labora in developing initiatives that facilitate access to employment and improve the professional qualifications of the unemployed population. Contracts range from nine to ten months, depending on the programme.
