A balance of results from the 'Employability Shuttle' initiative was presented, and needs such as promoting a transport service to structure the territory and facilitate the connection between job supply and demand were analyzed. The importance of transferring the generated knowledge to the Territorial Council for Vocational Training was also highlighted.
Paula Fayos emphasized the dynamism of the Territorial Pact of La Safor and the importance of a tailored strategy, adapted to the regional characteristics, as well as the need for coordination with LABORA and other territorial pacts.
The continuity of technical teams was addressed as a strategic issue, highlighting the positive reception and citizen trust in the services provided to bring employment, training, and entrepreneurship resources closer to people.
The Pact's coordinator, Aurora Moncho, presented data from 2026: 780 people assisted, 1,234 orientations, 52 workshops, 9 digital skills courses, 171 job placements, and advice for 42 entrepreneurs. The issue of public transport was identified as a key challenge for accessing job and training opportunities.
The development of a report on Vocational Training needs is proposed for presentation to the Territorial Council for Vocational Training of La Safor.
