For a year a hundred young people have participated in this dual vocational and occupational training program that we develop from Fundesplai. The objective of Demà Jove is to improve the employability of unemployed young people without qualifications or with difficulties in accessing the labour market.
To end this stage we carried out a closing ceremony with the participation of the entire Fundesplai team that has worked on the project. Cristina Rodríguez, CEO of Fundesplai, celebrated and thanked all the people and agents who have participated and stressed that Demà Jove is a program in constant improvement. Representatives of the Catalan Employment Service also attended. Susana Díaz, Deputy Director General of Active Employment Policies, highlighted the good development by all the agents involved and what it means for young people: “Not only do you have a degree, but you have really worked and networked”.
The event was also attended by companies, entities and centers where some of the young participants have worked. “When we were asked to participate in this project, we did not hesitate. We want to thank Fundesplai for all the support received”, commented Agustina Martínez-Vivot, from Es Im-perfect Food_Fundació Espigoladors.
The protagonists, however, were the young women who had a space to explain their experience. Maria Guerrini valued very positively the opportunity to enter the labor market and thus expand her contacts within educational leisure. For his part, Eli, explained his learning during the program: “I have been able to enhance many skills, such as creativity. I’ve also redirected my studies after finding an area I really like.”
In the closing ceremony, the titles were also awarded to young people who have just started a new stage, after a year of learning and preparation. From Fundesplai, in addition, we already have a new edition of Demà Jove underway.
