The Regional Government, through the Regional Secretariat for Tourism, Mobility and Infrastructures and the Regional Secretariat for Parliamentary Affairs and Communities, will promote the training of migrants in the areas of Culinary, Confectionary and Restaurant Bar with Turismo de Portugal (national tourism authority).
The aim is to fill the labour shortage in the tourism sector.
The process was carried out with AVEA -Association for the Economic Promotion of the Azores and will initially involve 15 trainees.
This is an investment supported by Turismo de Portugal amounting to 70,700.00 Euros. It is part of the Training and Integration Programme for Migrants in the Tourism Sector.
This initiative stems from a partnership between Turismo de Portugal, through the Hospitality and Tourism Schools Network, the Migration and Asylum Integration Agency (AIMA) and the Portuguese Tourism Confederation (CTP). It intends to develop training/employment programmes for the accommodation, qualification and professional integration of migrants and beneficiaries of international protection in Portugal. In addition to training migrants, the programme includes actions aimed at business professionals to maximise the success of integration.
Training will be provided by the 12 Tourism Schools in Portugal and, in the case of the Azores, it will take place at the Tourism and Hospitality School.
This programme is a tool to respond to the challenges of talent and migratory movements.
This partnership between Turismo de Portugal, the Migration and Asylum Integration Agency (AIMA) and the Portuguese Tourism Confederation (CTP) aims to develop training/employment programmes for the accommodation, qualification and professional integration of migrants and beneficiaries of international protection in Portugal.
This training lasts three months, followed by a one-month intenship at a company, totalling 160 hours.
One thousand migrants are participating in the same training nationwide. All those interested should have their situation legalised and present a residence permit, identification document, Tax Identification Number, Social Security Identification Number and IBAN under their name.
