The first initiative under the agreement will be the implementation in Telde of activities from the Iris Mujer Gran Canaria project, funded by the Department of Equality and Diversity of the Cabildo of Gran Canaria. Between 12 and 20 women from the municipality, referred by the Equality Department, will be able to participate in the program to improve their skills and expand their employment access options.
Participants will receive individual labor guidance and social support, attend workshops on basic and transversal skills, and access training to enhance their technical competencies. The agreement also includes awareness-raising actions to eliminate barriers hindering employment access for specific social groups.
The agreement provides for the temporary cession of municipal spaces for holding activities and allows for the incorporation of other initiatives agreed upon by the City Council and Iris Social to foster the inclusion and social promotion of participants.
The Councilor for Equality, María Eugenia Melián, explained that a procedure has been agreed upon for the referral and follow-up of women joining the project. The social area of the Equality Department will be responsible for referring participants to the technical staff designated by Iris Social.
