San Fulgencio has recently taken on two new construction workers through the ECOVID employment programme which enables the recruitment of people over 30 years of age who are unemployed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

This has been possible thanks to a LABORA grant from the Regional Ministry of Sustainable Economy and the European Social Fund (ESF) of the Valencian Community.

The aim of this programme is to provide incentives for the hiring of unemployed people, within the framework of the Avalem Experiencia Programme, with the aim of providing work, experience and sustaining economic activity.

The Councillor for Employment and Training, Ana Mª Villena, explained that “the grant amounts to a total of 30,348 euros, and has allowed the employment of two staff on a one-year contract”. Their main function of both employees will be maintenance and repair work in the municipality.
