Dozens of organizations participate in the first Mijas Job Opportunities Fair

Mijas celebrated this Wednesday the first edition of the Training and Job Opportunities Fair (FDEFOL), an event where more than thirty entities, along with job seekers to whom the fair was aimed, gathered. The goal was to provide a meeting point between companies and people actively seeking employment, promoting the generation of job opportunities and professional development in our municipality.

Specifically, in this first edition, 31 entities participated, including administrations such as the Malaga Chamber of Commerce and the Defense Subdelegation. Added to this were hotels, social groups, service companies, and training academies. Two hundred people attended the fair.

The mayor, Ana Mata, the territorial delegate of Employment of the Junta de Andalucía, Carmen Sánchez, and the councilor for Economic Development, Juan Carlos Maldonado, were in charge of inaugurating the event whose program was completed with a series of lectures and discussion tables addressing topics such as 'Your employability, your future: attitudes vs skills', 'New paradigm in FPE: Dual training'; 'Artificial intelligence and new job opportunities' and 'Labor orientation with UAS/Drones'.

"One of the priorities of the Mijas Town Hall is the development of employment promotion policies, so this initiative is specifically aimed at those who want to enter the job market. It is important to highlight the collaboration with the private sector to increase employability levels and promote training. There must be a correlation between employment and training and this first job fair, which will not be the last, highlights the companies we have and their needs, and connects them with people looking for work," explained Mata.

"Mijas is the fourth municipality in Malaga with the highest level of employment, currently having 24,929 affiliates to Social Security last February; however, it also records more than 6,000 unemployed, and although unemployment has been reduced by 8% compared to the previous year, we must do everything possible to continue reducing this figure," pointed out the Employment delegate.
