The Mijas City Council, through its Employment Promotion Area, and the Provincial Council of Malaga have launched this training initiative, part of the EnRuta labor insertion project, aimed at the city's unemployed. The mayor of Mijas, Ana Mata, and the Councilor for Employment Promotion, Juan Carlos Maldonado, welcomed the students.
The course, which will run until January 18, prioritized enrollment for vulnerable groups such as those over 45, long-term unemployed, or individuals with a disability rating of 33% or higher. The training, funded by the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+), combines theoretical content with practical company internships and includes a scholarship of 13.45 euros per day of attendance.
Mayor Ana Mata highlighted the City Council's commitment to job creation and implementing initiatives to improve residents' employment opportunities, stating that "training is a fundamental piece for this, especially for those facing greater difficulties and needing a boost to improve their situation."
Councilor Juan Carlos Maldonado also emphasized the importance of paying special attention to the most vulnerable groups, adding, "We want no one to be left behind. That's why we are committed to programs that offer useful training, adapted to market needs, and allow participants to gain practical experience."
This action is part of the EnRuta project by the Provincial Council of Malaga, with a total budget of 7,002,964.96 euros, which aims to benefit 1,830 people in the province through 122 training pathways. A course on 'Receptionist for tourist establishments' is also scheduled to begin soon.
