Final Conference and Certificate Awarding of the 'Guide, Train, Employ' Program

The final conference, along with the certificate awarding, of the 'Guide, Train, Employ' vocational training program funded by the Municipality of Benevento, acting as the lead of the B1 Territorial Area, with resources from the Pon Inclusion, took place this morning at Palazzo Paolo V. A total of 68 participants took part in the four courses for social-health operators and one course for childhood operators. 'A precise programmatic input from the administration,' explained the Social Policies Councilor Carmen Coppola at the opening, 'that in the welfare sector, the acquisition of soft skills and increasingly qualified competencies in the vital sector of personal care and physical, psychological, and relational well-being is favored. Furthermore, the operators for childhood allow to enrich the human resources available to the nurseries of the B1 Area: to the four already active ('Mario Zerella' and 'Carlotta Nobile' in Benevento, 'Magicland' and 'Il Nido dei sogni' in Apollosa) we aim to add another two, in the process of opening, in Capodimonte and in the Rione Ferrovia so as to enhance the offer for young families.' After the interventions of Nunzio Nicola Costagliola, Clotilde Panza, and Alessandro Collarile (Gesfor Training Agency) and Raffaele Basso (Esculapio Cooperative), teachers and participants shared their experiences and testimonies. The proceedings were closed by the B1 Area coordinator and manager of the Citizen Services sector of the Municipality of Benevento, Gennaro Santamaria: 'This morning, there was a clear perception of the goodness and quality of the results achieved: it is appropriate that the prejudice that weighs on vocational training be overcome, since the active surveillance of the public administration, as in this case, allows to achieve important goals and offer significant employment opportunities to the participants. The need,' concluded the B1 Area coordinator Santamaria, 'for qualified figures in assistance and socio-health activities is growing and for this reason, I believe that the path that ends today with the delivery of certificates has been particularly useful and effective.'
