GOOD PRACTICE

The Municipal School of Talents aims to provide the necessary tools to promote and enhance the employability of people, with an educational offer adapted to meet the current and future demands of the different productive sectors.

OBJECTIVES

Provide the necessary tools to promote and enhance the employability of people, with an educational offer adapted to meet the current and future demands of the different productive sectors of the city. The new challenges of the labour market, the demand for language as a skill and the incorporation of innovation in the productive systems have determined a more demanding labour market. Therefore, it is aimed at all those who wish to develop technical and professional skills to access quality jobs or to strengthen their personal ventures, thus covering the labour demand.

DESCRIPTION OF ACTIONS CARRIED OUT

From its creation in August 2022 until December of that year, 17 courses were given with a total of 144 hours of classes. Thus, a wide educational offer was provided, with training in network programming, public speaking and effective presentations, office automation I and II, photography for networks and Excel applied to business, music production courses, communication in social networks, advanced Word, and PowerPoint, among others.

KEY SUCCESS FACTORS

The proposal is part of the actions implemented by the municipality as part of the consolidation of a management scheme in partnership with community stakeholders.

MAIN RESULTS ACHIEVED

At the local level, during the first months there were nearly 300 graduates of the courses offered, while at the global level, the international meeting that laid the foundations for a World Laboratory of Intermediary Cities as territories of talents was attended by 20 cities and the presence of partner networks such as UCLG, Mercociudades, FLACMA (Latin American Federation of Cities, Municipalities and Municipal Associations) and ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability.
