The Cabildo de Tenerife, through the Area of Employment, Socioeconomic Development and Foreign Action directed by the counselor Carmen Luz Baso, has invested more than 150,000 euros for forty women from Los Silos to receive training for employment in the fashion and sewing sector.
The training comes thanks to grants to support employment activities carried out by non-profit organizations in the project ‘Entre costuras’ managed by the NGO Generación 21.
Of these forty women at least eight are expected to enter the labor market at the end of the program, according to the island entity in a press release. ‘Entre costuras’ lasts twelve months and is being taught in the municipality of Los Silos.
Carmen Luz Baso recently visited the facilities together with the Mayor of Los Silos, Macarena Fuentes, and the First Deputy Mayor and Councilor for Social Welfare, Raquel González Luis.

At the same time It is a powerful incentive for training and retraining of the people of the region, always bearing in mind that the textile sector is currently experiencing an emerging situation ”, indicated the insular councilor.
In addition, ‘Entre costuras’ includes collaboration with the Asociación Ámate for the fight against breast cancer, with Tenerife Moda and with the galas for the election of the queen of the Carnival of Santa Cruz or other municipalities in the geographical scope of the project.
