€1.5 million boost for employment in Motril

MOTRIL COUNCIL will receive €1.7 million, allocated by the Junta de Andalucia regional government, for the creation of employment in the town.

Mayor Luisa Garcia Chamorro explained that the money would be distributed in two main projects, one for youths under 25 years old, which would benefit from more than €1 million of the financial aid, while the rest would go to a plan earmarked for residents above that age.

“They will be able to benefit from six-month contracts, full-time and with the base salary for each professional category,” she explained.

Residents who are recipients of social aid and are long-term unemployed with or without income, will have priority access to the programme.
