The SEF has participated in the selection of these women, most of them over 45 years old, and all of them unemployed for at least 12 of the last 18 months.

A group of fifteen long-term unemployed from the municipality of Cartagena has started a process of intensive job search that will run until June 19, with meetings and workshops to be held in a classroom of the SEF Office of the departmental city .

During this period, and under the guidance of a tutor, they will work on their skills and competencies, and cooperate in the mission of finding a job adapted to their profiles.

The Employment Council, through the SEF, carried out in mid-May a phase of recruitment of candidates for participation in this pilot program of the Community, called 'Talent Woman', and after the final selection has already begun the activity.

One of the requirements was that these women have minimal digital skills, since the resources they must use require a basic skill in that field.

In these first days of work, the work focuses on the self-evaluation of the participants, in order to be aware of their strengths and weaknesses both in the personal and professional.

There will be a total of six face-to-face sessions, but the platform will maintain permanent contact both through the Internet and mobile phone chat groups.

The general director of the SEF, Alejandro Zamora, stressed that "this is a very useful initiative to combat long-term unemployment." In general, the people of this group are undermined their security and trust base, and can accumulate doubts about his professional value, this program works very intensely in those areas. "

The classroom in which the participants will meet during six sessions is specially enabled to facilitate the communication of them, because communication is precisely one of the basic tools that are part of to overcome the difficulties involved in the situation of prolonged unemployment.

The majority of the members of the group are over 45 years old, an age group with special difficulties in accessing the labor market.

All of them are long-term stops, which means that they have accumulated an unemployment situation for at least 12 of the last 18 months.

This pilot experience is being developed for the first time in the Region, and includes a group in Murcia (which has already completed its activity) and the one that is now starting up in Cartagena.
