Participants will undergo 200 hours of training, blending classroom instruction with online tutorials. The training aims to equip individuals with sector-specific skills and enhance their employability through digital literacy, job search techniques, interview preparation, interpersonal skills, entrepreneurship, and self-employment. Additionally, the program will provide personalized mentoring and support to boost the participants’ utilization of training and facilitate their entry into the job market. The training activities are scheduled for implementation in 2026, reinforcing the City Council’s commitment to fostering training opportunities and employment access for the youth while catering to sectors in need of skilled professionals and contributing to Estepona’s economic and social progress.
