The Andalusian Regional Government has created a mobile app named 'Andaluzaa', which compiles all the training and employment opportunities aimed at women in the province of Málaga and throughout Andalusia. The app, designed by the Ministry of Social Inclusion, Youth, Families, and Equality in collaboration with the Ministry of Employment and the Andalusian Employment Service, is now available for download on mobile platforms with iOS and Android operating systems.
'Andaluzaa' was introduced by the delegates of both ministries, Ruth Sarabia and Carmen Sánchez, and the coordinator of the Andalusian Institute for Women, Remedios Cueto, at the Archidona City Hall, alongside its mayor, Juan Manuel Almohalla (PP).
The app allows users to search by keywords or filter by province in Andalusia, category or professional family, workday, type of contract, and requirements, among other variables. The menu displays training courses and job offers. "It's a simple app that doesn't require identification, meaning once it's installed on a mobile device, all the information can be accessed for free," explained Sánchez Sierra.
The application will provide information from the General Directorate of Vocational Training for Employment, job offers from the SAE, as well as other training and offers from other organizations that may be of interest. "It's an intuitive, agile, fast, and simple application," the delegate explained.
Ruth Sarabia, the delegate for Social Inclusion, explained that this app aims to expedite the Public Administration's response to the labor market demands and the employment needs of women, not forgetting those who live in the inner municipalities, as these job opportunities are often not filled because they are not known to the residents.
Ruth Sarabia added the responsibility of involving as many women as possible in the growth of the territory, "since we make up more than 50% of the population and have a lot to contribute."
"Information is power, and this power will give women more options to decide about their own professional future, providing them with greater economic independence, freedom, and self-esteem," added Carmen Sierra.
The Employment delegate reported that Málaga reached the highest level of female employment in its history in April, with 351,810 affiliations. At the same time, it has more self-employed women than ever before, with 53,840 women.
However, although women represent 51% of the total population, unemployment continues to be significantly higher among women. Thus, 60% of the registered unemployment in the province is accounted for by women, with 70,396 unemployed, compared to 45,125 unemployed men, "and the female unemployment rate is 8.4 points higher than that of men."
The delegate has stressed the importance of training and requalification, because statistics show that "the more training achieved, the better the job obtained, a quality job that will make us more independent, more autonomous, and more free."
