Azores Training Centre promotes music production and technology course in cooperation with Army
The Azores Training Centre (CQA) promotes the Music Production and Technology Technician course, within the scope of the Collaboration Protocol between the Regional Secretariat for Youth, Housing and Employment and the Portuguese Army, signed in December 2023. This is the first time that this level 4 certification training is taking place in the Azores, allowing young people to acquire skills and qualifications in this area without having to travel to Mainland Portugal, as has been the case until now, where the course is promoted by the Institute for Employment and Vocational Training (IEFP). The first edition has begun for ten military personnel, who have completed their secondary education (12th grade). They will acquire skills in creating and producing music, ensuring the necessary part of musical performance for various applications, and using digital technologies. At the official opening ceremony of the new course, which will be conducted in the DUAL.Açores format, the Regional Secretary for Youth, Housing and Employment, Maria João Carreiro, congratulated the Portuguese Army - Azores Military Zone, for the initiative to "meet a public training service, the CQA, to widen the provision of training for the benefit of military personnel and civilians." "The CQA aims to ensure, within the reach of its powers and resources, responses to the qualification needs of employed and unemployed people and employers," she said, praising the "meeting of minds, availability and common interests." According to the Regional Secretary, this new course not only allows trainees to be admitted to the Enlisted ranks but also has a positive impact on the activities of the Azores Military Band. The departure of these musicians from the Region to pursue their studies would make many of the Military Band's activities unfeasible as also those of the Philharmonic bands where they perform. "Improving the qualifications of these young musicians benefits their professional lives and we, the Region, as a whole, benefit from their qualifications and permanence in the Azores," she summarised. Under the Collaboration Protocol between the Regional Government, through the Regional Secretariat for Youth, Housing and Employment, and the Portuguese Army, specifically the Azores Military Zone, military personnel have already been integrated into short courses in areas such as Body Repair, Auto Painting, Locksmithing and Welding. The official opening ceremony of the new course took place on Thursday. In addition to the trainees, teachers and other guests, the event was also attended by the President of the Board of Directors of the Azores Training Centre, Acir Meirelles, Lieutenant-Colonel Paulo Bento, representing the Azores Military Zone Commander, and the Regional Director for Vocational Training and Employment, Renato Medeiros.

More comprehensive and less bureaucratic Social Employment Market
The Regional Government is preparing new regulations for the Social Employment Market (MSE) to ensure greater coverage for its beneficiaries as well as simplify procedures in the application process for entities involved in measures aimed at vulnerable unemployed people in the labour market. The aim is to make a series of MSE measures "more efficient and targeted at those who need them," says Maria João Carreiro. The Regional Secretary for Youth, Housing, and Employment presented the new draft regulations to the Social Partners for revision. This meeting took place in Ponta Delgada and was attended by Renato Medeiros, the Regional Director for Vocational Training and Employment. Only after consultation will the regulation be submitted to the Council of the Government for approval and replacement of a legal document that has been in force in the Region for more than 24 years. It is out of step with the current social and economic context. "We aim to consolidate a law that reflects an effective partnership between the Public Administration, non-profit organisations and the regional business sector so that these tripartite relations can result in a lasting strategy for overcoming the labour shortages and social inclusion of MSE beneficiaries," explained the Regional Secretary. According to the Regional Government's proposal, in addition to the beneficiaries already covered by the regulation still in force, domestic violence victims, unemployed people aged 55 or over, very long-term unemployed (over two years) and refugees are now included in the MSE target group. The new regulations are even more comprehensive regarding the responses and measures that can be promoted among potential MSE beneficiaries. Other improvements in the Regional Government's proposal concern the application process for MSE measures, which will now be implemented on the emprego.azores.gov.pt portal. This will enable the organisations applying for different measures to monitor and manage the process on the same portal. The MSE is the main public policy instrument that regulates government action on the labour inclusion of unemployed people with labour market vulnerabilities, with a view to their integration or reintegration into the labour market. In addition to reinforcing the intervention of non-profit organisations, including the Private Social Solidarity Institutions, and the business sector in implementing the MSE measures, the new regulations also bring together several coordinated responses between the government departments responsible for the social and employment areas.
