The training is set to commence on Monday, August 3, and is financially supported by the European Social Fund Plus, with organization by the INCYDE Foundation. The City Council of Estepona announces the kick-off of the first of the complimentary training programs aimed at young individuals seeking to enhance their skills and boost their employability. The initial course will concentrate on Bar and Cafeteria Service, providing practical training to facilitate entry into a sector with a high demand for skilled professionals. This initiative is made possible through a grant received by the City Council under the ‘Youth Entrepreneurship Pathways’ program, backed by the INCYDE Foundation and financed by the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+). With a total budget of 200,000 euros, of which 170,000 euros are co-financed by the ESF+, the program is expected to benefit at least 75 young people aged between 16 and 29 from August to December 2026. In addition to the Bar and Cafeteria Service course, the City Council will offer training in other sought-after areas such as Basic Restaurant and Bar Operations, Restaurant Services, Social and Health Care for Dependent Individuals in Social Institutions, and Medical Transportation. This initiative underscores the City Council’s dedication to promoting youth employment by providing access to specialized training in key sectors, thereby contributing to the economic and social progress of the municipality. Individuals keen on enrolling in the first course or any of the upcoming programs can register by phone or email.
