The Acting Minister of Labor, Migration and Social Security, Magdalena Valerio, has presented in Ceuta, together with the delegate of the Government of the Autonomous City, Salvadora Mateos, and the general director of the Public Employment Service, Gerardo Gutiérrez, the Integral Plan of Employment 2019-2020 that aims to improve the employability and job placement of people in unemployment in this Autonomous City.

The implementation of this Comprehensive Plan of Employment, which will develop the Ministry of Labor, Migration and Social Security within the framework of its powers, through the Public State Employment Service (SEPE), aims to respond to the labor and social situation of this Autonomous City. "Unemployment in Ceuta needs individual attention, with personalized training itineraries that we will develop in collaboration with companies," the minister said in statements to the media.
Ceuta currently has an unemployment rate of 22.31%, above the average for Spain (14.7%), with a marked increase in female unemployment, 27.82% compared to 16.74% of the national average . Youth unemployment among children under 25 reaches 46.97% in this autonomous city, higher than the national average (34.97%).

This plan will be articulated with measures such as the hiring of counselors (six for the city of Ceuta), the reordering of grants and the creation of a promotion and development unit. At this point, the minister stressed that the selection processes have already been launched.
The activities to be carried out will be carried out within the framework of the Common Service Portfolio of the National Employment System and in accordance with the provisions of the Young Employment Shock Plan and the REINCORPORA-T Plan, both for the 2019-2020 period.
The Plan has two pillars: 1st. Study and diagnosis of the labor market and the social reality of the Autonomous City, which is being carried out by the Observatory of Occupations, with the support of the Government Delegation, the Provincial Directorate of SEPE and the Autonomous City itself. 2nd. Initial orientation for all the people who will participate in the Plan, complemented with personalized accompaniment throughout the duration of the same.
Individual diagnoses
On this basis, those activities that best adapt to individualized diagnoses will be programmed, such as: information, guidance and counseling, transversal training in new technologies, limogistic competences, coaching techniques, emotional intelligence and motivation techniques for job search ( both on their own account and that of others).
