Villamayor implements youth employment and urban conservation program

The Villamayor City Council is implementing the Public Mixed Employment-Training Program ‘Conservation of Roads in Villamayor II’. This initiative involves eight young people who combine professional training with paid work to improve and maintain the municipality’s public spaces, streets, and sidewalks.

Running from March through December 2026, the program aims to facilitate labor market integration while enhancing local mobility and safety. To date, approximately 85% of the planned urban improvements have been executed. Participants receive a salary and gain practical experience in urban conservation under professional supervision.

The training is designed to help participants obtain official professional certificates in two specialties: auxiliary operations for continuous coatings in construction and auxiliary operations for rigid finishes and urbanization. Skills covered include mortar and concrete preparation, surface treatment, painting, and the installation of paving and cobblestones.
