Residents in the commune of Homocea, Vrancea County, who could not find jobs, can attend professional training starting this autumn. The classes are organised by the Eleutheria Centre for Institutional Analysis and Devleopment (CADI), as part of a partnership with PAPI, signed by RECL manager Adina Grama. The courses are being organised as part of a project called “European competences for rural areas” and are being offered for free. Financing comes from the European Social Fund.
“Among people in the target-group are the unemployed, inactive people, those looking to open a business, people employed in agriculture and subsistence farming, but also managers and employees from rural areas”, Adina Grama says.
The project includes training for many jobs; one can qualify to be a worker in the hospitality industry, in the hairdressing business or in a manicurist’s and chiropodist’s, security guard, structure worker in the construction business, home caretaker, masonry worker, worker in the food industry or commerce. There will also be training for salesmen, secretarial work and management classes for people who want to open a business or become administrators of one. They would not be possible, however, without the IT training. That particular course was the first to begin, in the first days of September.
