A total of fifteen people are trained in the certificate of professionalism of social and health care, thanks to the PFAE GJ ‘Fuerteventura takes care of you at home’ of the Cabildo of Fuerteventura. The participants receive this training since last April and will begin, in the coming weeks, with the work of caring for dependents with special needs in homes and social institutions.
The first tasks of works and services will begin at the Fuerteventura Island Residence for the Disabled, the Day Center for the Disabled in Puerto del Rosario and the Josefina Plá Day Center for Dependent Persons.
The main works and services to be carried out include assistance in the socio-sanitary field for people with special physical, psychological and social health needs, in coordination with the Social Action area of the Cabildo. For this purpose, appropriate strategies are used to improve the personal autonomy and relationships with the environment of these people.
The Councillor for Employment Promotion, Nuria Cabrera, and the technician of the Canary Employment Service, Antonio Ojeda, visited the classroom-workshop, where they have witnessed a demonstration of the theoretical part learned by the student-worker. Both Nuria Cabrera and Ojeda thanked the work they develop in public service actions very necessary for the care of people in Fuerteventura.
Cabrera added that “from the Cabildo we are clear about the importance of employment plans that offer a job opportunity for unemployed people. These programs are oriented to new areas and with projection in Fuerteventura, as well as those needs that we demand the citizens themselves as, in this case, attention to people”.
The investment of the PFAE GJ ‘Fuerteventura takes care of you at home’, amounts to 448,501.63 euros, being a project funded by the Canary Employment Service and co-financed 85% by the European Social Fund Plus 2021-2027 Canary Islands Program, as well as by the Cabildo of Fuerteventura and the Government of the Canary Islands, through the resources of the Canary Islands Development Fund (FDCAN).
