The Diocesan Employment Centre has concluded five training pathways between January and June 2026. A total of 72 people have completed the training, aimed at sectors with high labour demand.
On July 3rd, the Diocesan Employment Centre (CDE) of Seville held the closing ceremony for its courses, which took place from January 26th to June 30th. 72 people have successfully completed the five training pathways, designed to enhance their professional skills and facilitate their access to the job market.
Training in high-demand sectors
The courses offered included: Professionals in energy transition (aerothermal energy and sustainable air conditioning); Kitchen and dining techniques for the hospitality sector; Comprehensive cleaning and accommodation services; Social and healthcare assistance for individuals at home; and Technician in multi-service repairs and maintenance. All of them linked to sectors with a real demand for professionals.
According to Cáritas Diocesana de Sevilla, training is a key pillar for social and labour integration. The methodology used has been predominantly practical, combining technical training with the development of employability skills, job orientation, access to social resources, and internships in collaborating companies.
Support from entities and European funding
The courses have been made possible thanks to the support of various entities committed to promoting opportunities for the most vulnerable individuals. All actions are co-financed by the European Union. Additionally, the course on Comprehensive cleaning and accommodation services has the collaboration of Inditex, while the Technician in multi-service repairs and maintenance course incorporates funding from the state IRPF.
The programmes include transversal content such as digital competence, environmental sustainability, gender equality, labour rights, and occupational risk prevention, adapted to the current demands of the job market.
An emotional closing ceremony
The event, under the slogan 'Choose to love. Choose community', was attended by the director of Cáritas Diocesana de Sevilla, Miguel A. Carbajo; the general secretary, Victoria Martín; and the director of the CDE, Mónica Salido, along with students, volunteers, and the technical team.
Miguel A. Carbajo highlighted the transformative value of training:
“Today we are not closing courses; we are celebrating the beginning of new life projects. Behind each certificate lies effort, perseverance, and the brave decision to move forward despite difficulties.”
Victoria Martín emphasised that
“training opens doors, but, above all, it opens horizons. When a person accesses new job opportunities, they not only improve their economic situation but also regain self-confidence, gain autonomy, and strengthen their ability to build their own future.”
For her part, Mónica Salido recalled that
“at Cáritas, we firmly believe that employment is a tool of dignity. That is why we work to ensure that no person is defined by their circumstances, but by their abilities, talent, and all their potential.”
With this closing, Cáritas Diocesana de Sevilla reaffirms its commitment to the integral promotion of individuals and the construction of a more inclusive society, connecting the capabilities of those seeking an opportunity with the real needs of the job market. The new graduates can now apply for jobs in sectors such as social and healthcare assistance, hospitality, or energy transition, supported by practical training and the guidance of the entity.
