The Mogán Town Council has celebrated the first edition of 'From Talent to Employment', a 50-hour workshop aimed at improving the employability of its residents, with the participation of 11 people.
The Mogán Town Council, through the Employment and Local Development Agency, has launched the first edition of the 'From Talent to Employment' workshop, a 50-hour training programme designed to strengthen the personal and professional skills of the municipality's residents with the aim of facilitating their entry into the job market.
The initiative, which has already held its first edition, has seen the participation of 11 people, who have worked on self-awareness and identifying their strengths to face selection processes with greater confidence. The substitute councillor for Training and Employment, Grimanesa Artiles, explained that the workshop was born from previous experiences with users of the former Employment Plan of Mogán, where the methodology used yielded good results.
“The methodology worked very well, and that’s why we wanted to open the workshop to all our residents, so they can identify their talents and enhance their abilities to access the job market,” Artiles stated. In this way, the council seeks to extend training to the entire population, which until now had been limited to participants in municipal employment plans.
The training has been delivered by the company Águilas del Talento, whose manager and instructor, Luis Rodríguez, highlighted that the workshop goes beyond preparing for job interviews. “Participants have prepared for the selection process of ALDI supermarket, but we wanted to go further. We have helped them discover the four essential pillars for professional success: growth mindset, attitude, recognition of talents, and action plan,” he affirmed.
Rodríguez emphasised the importance of attendees identifying their strengths, as he explained, “only 15% of the population knows what their talents are, and less than 1% develop them.” In this sense, the workshop has allowed participants to recognise their abilities and put them into practice in their active job search, a key aspect in an increasingly competitive job market.
Additionally, the workshop featured the participation of audiovisual coach Ayose Cazañas, who worked with attendees on communication and self-awareness. “I helped them see and hear themselves on camera, not to judge themselves, but to understand how they communicate. The way you walk, dress, or express yourself also communicates, and being aware of this is key to improving self-concept and personal confidence,” Cazañas explained.
This training is part of the active employment policies developed by the Mogán Town Council, which advocates for the qualification of its residents as a way to improve their access to the job market. The initiative, funded with its own resources, aims to equip participants with practical tools that enable them to successfully face selection processes, both in the public and private sectors.
For the residents of Mogán, this training represents an opportunity to acquire skills that go beyond purely technical aspects, such as attitude management or defining a personalised action plan. The fact that the workshop has been opened to the entire population, and not just to users of employment plans, broadens the scope of an initiative that aims to be a turning point in the professional trajectory of attendees.
The celebration of this first edition lays the groundwork for future calls, as the Town Council considers the possibility of repeating the experience due to the positive reception. Those interested in participating in future editions can find out more through the Mogán Employment and Local Development Agency, which will be responsible for managing registrations and communicating the dates.
With initiatives like this, Mogán reinforces its commitment to local employment, offering its residents training resources that contribute to their personal and professional development. The combination of job orientation, audiovisual coaching, and preparation for real selection processes makes this workshop a comprehensive tool for improving employability in the municipality.
