Calvià Town Hall, through the "Visibles" occupation programme, plans, as of 16
th November, the hiring for six months of 21 over 35 workers full-time and an advisor part-time to support the project.


This programme has a total cost of 419.977,70 euros, of which 235.800 euros come from the participation of the Occupation Service of the Balearic Islands (SOIB) and the co-financing of the State Public Occupation Service (SEPE) and the European Social Fund (ESF), and the rest, 184.177,70 euros correspond to municipal financing.


This action makes it easier for local entities (including their municipal companies and autonomous bodies) to hire workers over 35 years of age (prioritising those over 45 years of age who have been unemployed for at least 12 months within the last year and a half, and who do not benefit of any compensation or allowance.


The actions recently approved by the SOIB are organised into 3 projects:

It is a project based on public awareness regarding the correct management of waste in the public way.
