The Teatro Consistorial of Gáldar was the venue this Friday for the closing ceremony and diploma presentation to the 75 young individuals who have participated in the Training in Alternation with Employment Projects (PFAE) developed in the municipality over recent months. The specialties offered were Gáldar Turística II, Gáldar Cuida II, Gáldar Cocina II, and Gáldar Restauración II, delivered at the Municipal Training Center, and Gáldar Acuática II, at the Asomo de Palma de Rojas Building.
The event was presided over by the mayor of Gáldar, Teodoro Sosa Monzón, accompanied by the director of the Canary Employment Service, Teresa Ortega Granados; the Councilor for Socioeconomic Development, Tine Martín Ojeda; and other representatives from the Canary Employment Service and the Gáldar Employment Office, such as Antonio Ojeda, Eduardo Camino Cárdenes, and María Auxiliadora Santana Cabrera.
Mayor Teodoro Sosa congratulated the graduates and the teaching team, emphasizing the importance of these training programs for improving the competitiveness of unemployed young people. "Today we see the result of hard and long work carried out by the Gáldar City Council, especially by the Department of Socioeconomic Development, which allows us to have 75 graduates today," he stated. He added that these PFAEs "allow Gáldar to be filled with professionals who can already practice their work and represent true labor insertion." He highlighted that, along with economic, tourist, and commercial activity, this contributes to the municipality "continuing to improve employment figures month by month."
For his part, Councilor Tine Martín stressed that the qualification obtained represents a "great opportunity" for students to enter the labor market with a professional qualification that has "significant demand," particularly in the municipality.
The director of the Canary Employment Service, María Teresa Ortega, emphasized the importance of coordination between administrations. "These programs demonstrate the importance of working in coordination with city councils to bring employment policies closer to citizens and respond to the needs of each municipality," she explained. She celebrated the "shared effort" and, above all, that of the trainees, who now "have new skills to continue advancing in their professional careers."
