There are many reasons that lead young Murcia each year choose to abandon formal education.
So the city of Murcia, with the collaboration of nearly a hundred companies in the municipality, organized since 1992 programs for these youth in order to provide training in a job that gives them access to employment.
This alternative is called the Initial Vocational Training Program and since its inception has provided 121 job profiles to about 1,600 youth.
The Mayor, Miguel Ángel Cámara, today presided over the ceremony of accreditation for the 130 students who have completed the course -2008/2009-.
All of them have obtained the qualification of operators and assistants in nine trades: masonry, painting, electrical engineering and communications facilities, welding and steel construction, cooking, hairdressing, beauty-the first time that is given-, computers, plumbing, air conditioning and maintenance vehicles.
The closing ceremony of the course has also had the assistance of the councilman of Youth and Employment, María Dolores Sánchez, and the Director General of Vocational and Adult Education, Joaquín Buendía, and representatives of companies collaborating with program and the teaching staff and technical.
This scheme allows young people receive the necessary theoretical training in a trade and, in many cases, access to a first job, but can also choose to continue their studies they left behind, especially in intermediate vocational training.
The key to success lies in creating a real working environment, rules, schedules and security measures that are treated to a workplace.
