A total of 18 unemployed people aged between 25 and 54 from Archena have completed a Community program which has alternated training with paid employment, and which enables them to work in the gardening sector.

Participants today received a certificate of professionalism, which accredits the skills acquired during these months of training and effective work, in an event attended by SEF's general director, Alejandro Zamora, and the mayor of the municipality, Patricia Fernández.
With this certificate in the specialty of installation and maintenance of gardens and green areas, students now have the opportunity to work as agricultural laborers, gardening laborers and nursery workers, or opt for self-employment by creating their own gardening company.
Zamora emphasized the dual utility of this type of program "because at the same time it forms the students in a certain office, it connects them with the work world by giving them a paid job." In addition, the work they have done in the parks and gardens of Archena Has resulted in the benefit of its municipality and its neighbors. "
