Before starting their work activity, participants attended a welcome and information session at the Centre de Recursos Agraris de Can Ribas, in les Franqueses del Vallès. The event served to introduce the program's operations and the training and support actions planned during the employment period.
The hired individuals will take on various professional roles within the participating town councils and the County Council, including positions such as administrative staff, receptionists, support technicians, construction workers, gardeners, municipal brigade members, cleaning staff, waste management operators, home care assistants, and civic agents.
The program primarily targets long-term unemployed individuals, recipients of the Renda Garantida de Ciutadania (Guaranteed Citizenship Income), women facing significant employment challenges, and unemployed transgender individuals. Of the 59 planned contracts, 7 began in September, 35 have started today, and the remainder will be completed next week.
