On March 21st, in a meeting with 40 businesspeople from the municipality, the Professional Academy of the Municipality of Albufeira – APROMA was presented.
This meeting was attended by the municipal executive bodies and the company ISQ – Institute of Welding and Quality, which will streamline and operationalize the courses that will be part of this first edition.
José Carlos Martins Rolo considers that “from an innovative perspective that allows combating the lack of qualified labor in professions linked to the construction sector, as well as qualifying and valuing the trainees who participate in these actions”, the first edition of APROMA will develop the plumbing technician, electrical technician, air conditioning technician, construction painting technician, swimming pool maintenance technician and carpentry technician courses, in partnership with ISQ, an entity with extensive experience in organizing and promoting specialized courses and certified at national level.
The courses will be held after work, at the Vale Pedras municipal shipyards, from Monday to Friday, from 6:30 pm to 10:30 pm and on Saturdays from 9 am to 6 pm, lasting three months.
The first course will be swimming pool maintenance technician and will start on April 2nd. Trainees will also have free food for dinner on weekdays and lunch on Saturday training days.
During the professional courses, trainees will also participate in AED training, integrating the Albufeira Municipality’s External Automatic Defibrillation Program – PDAE, which will provide double certification to trainees at the end of the courses.
