The Institute for the Just Transition (ITJ), an agency under the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge, launches - through the company LHH - its program of training, requalification and relocation of unemployed people affected by the energy transition in the municipalities included in the Fair Transition Agreement of Aragón.

The courses planned for the Fair Transition Agreement of Aragon are:

1. Waste management (168 HOURS), the expected start date for the course is the second half of May 2024

2. Energy efficiency (168 HOURS), the expected start date for the course is the first half of June 2024

A 28-hour employability module is included in both courses.

In addition, other training courses that are part of the programme are planned in the near future. People interested in any of the formations included in this program will be able to access the updated information on the web of the Institute for the Just Transition

FORM AND REPOSITION

This project, which will be deployed in other areas of just transition in the country, is promoted by the ITJ, is financed through Component 10 of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan and joins other training and requalification initiatives carried out by the ITJ in areas affected by the cessation of activity of coal mining and thermal power plants.

The training and requalification courses offered allow people to train and enter the workforce in constantly evolving productive environments - as is the case in the areas affected by the energy transition - providing them with opportunities for professional retraining and updating skills to promote their access to new employment in the growing sectors related to the clean energy transition such as renewable energies, energy efficiency or green infrastructures.

The project aims to train and re-employ at least 200 people across the country’s transition zones. The program has a duration of 24 months and LHH, as the company in charge of the execution of the activities, will be operating in the territories until the end of August 2025.

The program, which will pay special attention to the participation of women, includes a relocation service that will be offered to all people who meet the profile, based on offers from the green economy sector throughout the national territory.
