Estepona to train seventy five young people in technology and services

Published on June 10, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The Estepona City Council has launched a training program aimed at 75 unemployed young people, focusing on high-demand sectors such as technology and services. The initiative seeks to improve participants' employment opportunities and fill vacancies that local companies urgently need to cover.

Technical training to fill vacant positions 🛠️

The courses will include digital skills, basic programming, customer service, and administrative management. Practical skills demanded by local companies will be prioritized, such as handling specific software, languages, or knowledge in logistics. The program will combine theory with internships at local companies, allowing students to apply what they have learned. The estimated duration is three months, with follow-up support to facilitate job placement.

Less time unemployed, more time on the phone 📱

Finally, 75 young people will have an excuse to spend hours in front of the computer without being called lazy. Now they can say they are training in technology while updating their LinkedIn profile between games. Of course, we'll have to see if after three months of the course, companies don't ask for five years of experience for the administrative assistant position.
