For its part, the ‘English’ course, lasting 90 hours, is taught in El Boquetillo and aims to improve the oral and written comprehension and expression of the language in both everyday and work situations, a skill that is increasingly in demand in the job market.

During her speech, the mayor stressed that “this free Municipal Training Plan is a key tool to facilitate job placement, since it offers practical training adapted to the real needs of the productive fabric.” In this sense, he added that “we continue working so that our neighbors have more and better professional opportunities.”

The municipal program includes a total of 49 courses and workshops distributed in seven large thematic areas: Computer Science and New Technologies; Image, Sound and Communications; Languages ​​and Culture; Hospitality, Construction and Services; Equality and Personal Wellbeing; Urban Culture and Sports; and Arts and Crafts. All training actions are free and are aimed at unemployed people in the municipality.

Among the proposals included in this plan are courses such as office automation, generative artificial intelligence, social media marketing, masonry, electricity, gardening, cooking, customer service, as well as workshops on psychosocial skills, equality, personal well-being or cultural and sports activities, among others.
