Launch of a New Employment and Training Program in Spain
The municipality of Andoain, Spain, in collaboration with the Basque Employment Service (Lanbide), has launched a new edition of its strategic employment and training program, aimed at individuals at risk of social exclusion or already facing it.
Now in its third year, the initiative reflects the municipality’s commitment to promoting employment for priority groups, with a special focus on women to address the region’s unemployment gap.
Municipal representatives, led by Mayor Andoni Álvarez, along with opposition party members and program officials, welcomed the women who will participate in the program over the coming months.
Participants will first receive theoretical and practical training before carrying out various painting projects within the neighborhoods of Andoain. The women have expressed great enthusiasm for the initiative.
The Andoain Margotzen project is part of the Comprehensive Employment Program for Priority Groups (CATP), supported by Lanbide.
The program aims to:
- Provide career guidance and mentorship.
- Offer training in practical and transferable skills.
- Develop professional competencies.
- Create job opportunities through temporary part-time contracts (six months, 75% of full-time hours).
The program runs until September 30, giving participants real hands-on experience and opportunities to enhance their professional skills in the Spanish labor market.
It also provides individualized guidance and personal support to increase participants’ chances of securing future employment.
The Spanish association Iruoak, specialized in serving this group, has been contracted to manage training and mentoring activities and oversee the various painting projects in Andoain.
