More than 350 people took part on Sunday, November 8, in the event «ERACIS+: Conectando Talento y Oportunidades», held at the Espacio ALMA. The gathering directly connected residents looking for work with companies in the municipality and with public guidance and training resources. During the event, eight companies —Clece, Contigo, Caser Residencial, Verdiblanca, Acciona, EULEN Flexiplán, UNEI and Labor de Equipo— attended to those present, who were able to learn about the profiles they seek, resolve doubts about the selection processes and hand in their CVs. According to what the Ayuntamiento has reported, some hirings took place during the event. The programme included two round tables. In the first, the Servicio Andaluz de Empleo (SAE), the Centro Andaluz de Emprendimiento (CADE) and the Cámara de Comercio presented guidance, job search, training and entrepreneurship tools. In the second, representatives of Clece, Acciona and the Asociación Verdiblanca explained which professional profiles they seek. Afterwards, an employability improvement area offered practical workshops on self-knowledge, CV writing, interview preparation and active job search, with the participation of entities such as Innova Almería, Engloba, AFIM21, SURGE, CODENAF, Médicos del Mundo, Fundación Secretariado Gitano and El Saliente.

The event is part of the Estrategia Regional Andaluza para la Cohesión e Inclusión Social (ERACIS+), co-financed by the Fondo Social Europeo Plus (FSE+), the Consejería de Servicios Sociales, Familias e Igualdad of the Junta de Andalucía and the Ayuntamiento de Almería. The programme operates in El Puche, La Chanca-Pescadería, Araceli-Piedras Redondas-Los Almendros and Fuentecica-Quemadero. Teams from psychology, social work, social education and job guidance accompany each person with a personalised insertion itinerary, which combines diagnosis, guidance, training and access to employment and social resources. The councillor Óscar Bleda valued the networking between administrations, social entities and companies: «Cuando conectamos personas, compartimos recursos y sumamos esfuerzos, multiplicamos oportunidades». The territorial delegate for Employment of the Junta in Almería, Amós García, highlighted employment as a «vehicle of inclusion» and offered the SAE's tools, such as guidance with personalised itineraries, labour intermediation and vocational training for employment.
