The Agency for Local Development and Employment, ADLE, of the City of Cartagena, has completed today the pilot project of vocational guidance called 'Activation Program for Employment'.
An initiative of support, training and support for people in situations of long-term unemployment.
16 have been the people who have participated most of them with ages over 40 years.
The act of awarding diplomas of the 2018 Activation for Employment Program was attended by the President and Manager of the ADLE, Mª Carmen Martín del Amor and Fulgencio Cerón, respectively, together with the orientation team of the Mª Ángeles García y Loles program Cremades
The purpose of the activation program has been to accompany and guide the person who wants to improve their employability, motivating and facilitating the development of skills, providing tools and helping them in the planning of their professional insertion itinerary.
In this first pilot program, 16 people have participated in a situation of long-term unemployment, mostly with ages over 40 years and with family responsibilities, who have been unemployed for more than a year.
Unemployed people over 40 years of age, with family responsibilities, are a priority objective for the ADLE, since it is a population with urgent needs to return to a job and, at this time, it is left out of other types of aid. and programs that prioritize other groups.
Through the Employment Activation Program, the 16 participants have managed to improve their personal development plan, they have worked on job skills training and have had the opportunity to take an internship in a company.
The Activation Program has incorporated an innovative methodology concentrating different types of activities, such as training and training in effective communication skills, cognitive therapy based on mindfulness for stress control and concentration, conflict management and change management. , teamwork, preparation of job interviews and digital skills for active job search on the internet, among others.
Much of the success of the program has been able to combine the training activity with a practical stay in a company, which has allowed participants to recover a work routine in a real environment, update their knowledge about specific tasks of their profession or learn new ones and, of course, has given the opportunity for a company to see their work, to assess their profile and professional competence, beyond the coldness of a curriculum, which in many cases does not pass the filters of the selection processes .
During the development of the program, two students have joined different jobs and as a global result of the program we can count on an insertion of 37%.
At the beginning of the year the new Activation Program 2019 will begin, all those who want to participate, can approach the headquarters of the Local Development and Employment Agency (Calle de la Caridad, 1) to be informed and be able to participate in the process of selection.
