The Cabildo launches two PFAE programs focused on caring for people and preserving the environment
The Cabildo de Fuerteventura, through the Employment Promotion Department, has launched two new work-study training programs (PFAE) that provide job opportunities to 30 unemployed individuals registered in the National Youth Guarantee System who face insertion difficulties. In addition to them, people who will be part of the management team, coordinator, teacher, and administrative support will also be included, reaching a total of 40 individuals.
The President of the Cabildo de Fuerteventura explains, «All actions for promoting training and employment by the island’s Corporation are primarily aimed at those who need it the most. In this case, we offer young people an opportunity to enter the market while carrying out much-needed public service activities requested by the community.»
The Employment Promotion Councilor, Nuria Cabrera, stated, «At the Cabildo, we understand the importance of employment programs. Therefore, we have recently put all our efforts into three new employment plans specific to the Cabildo and now, we are launching new PFAE programs with the support of the Canarian Employment Service.» Cabrera added, «Soon, four more PFAE programs focused on innovative sectors or sectors with potential in Fuerteventura will be implemented.»
The Director of the Canarian Employment Service, María Teresa Ortega, explained that the Formative Alternance Programs for Youth Guarantee have not been convened since 2021 and emphasized that this call, with an investment of 23.2 million euros, will allow thirty unemployed young individuals in Fuerteventura to obtain a professional certificate enabling them to enter the job market in socio-healthcare and nursery and garden activities.
At the event, there were representatives from the Social Action Council, Víctor Alonso, and the Environment Council, Carlos Rodríguez, other councilors with representation in the Cabildo, as well as councilors from the areas of Puerto del Rosario and Antigua, Erica González and Victoria Cerdeña, respectively, and the Culture Councilor of Antigua, Jonathan Peña.
The PFAE GJ ‘Fuerteventura takes care of you at home’ is a novel program aimed at assisting individuals with special health, physical, psychological, and social needs in the socio-healthcare field at home, applying suitable strategies to enhance their personal autonomy and relationships with the environment for users referred by the Cabildo’s Social Action area, as well as in institutions.
On the other hand, through the PFAE GJ ‘Fuerteventura preserves its environment’, the focus is on carrying out auxiliary operations for the implementation and maintenance of indoor and outdoor gardens, parks, green areas, as well as plant production in nurseries and garden centers. These activities are specifically carried out at the Biological Station of La Oliva and the Municipal Park ‘La Tunera’ in the municipality of La Oliva.
The investment amounts to nearly 900,000 euros, which can be co-financed up to 85% by the European Social Fund Plus 2021-2027 Program for the Canary Islands, through the Resolution of the Director of the Canarian Employment Service, resolving the call for grants to finance the work-study projects-guaranteed youth employment program for the year 2024, as well as between the Cabildo de Fuerteventura and the Government of the Canary Islands, through the resources of the Canary Islands Development Fund (FDCAN).
