The Sergloform Training Centre has today hosted the ceremony of awarding diplomas to people who have completed the courses ‘Food service in health and social health centres’ and ‘Restaurant management’, developed within the framework of the Integrated Employment Projects of the Public Service of State Employment (SEPE).

In total, around thirty unemployed people – fifteen per course – have successfully completed both training courses, included in the first call of 2025 of the Vocational Training for Employment programme, with outstanding academic results: the average qualifications are between 8.8 and 9.27.

The Provincial Director of SEPE in Melilla, Jorge Vera, and the Managing Director of Sergloform, José Carlos Navas, have presided over the event together with the teaching and technical team responsible for the programs.

During her speech, Vera stressed that these courses “have met all the expectations of the vocational training program for work” and wanted to acknowledge the efforts of the Sergloform team and the teachers Sherezade and Almudena, “as well as the true protagonists, the 30 students who today receive their diplomas with very high qualifications”.

The Provincial Director recalled that the SEPE is “at a key moment, already taking out the second call for training with a total investment of more than 3 million euros”. “It is a determined commitment of the Government of Spain to implement and land employment policies in the autonomous city of Melilla,” he said.

Responding to the needs of Melilla

Vera has pointed out that “these two training actions, linked to the services sector and the hospitality industry, respond to the real needs of the Melillense labor market, especially in the case of the course aimed at people over 45 years old, a priority group included in the Employment Law”.

For his part, José Carlos Navas thanked “the collaboration and support of the SEPE” and stressed “the importance of the public and the private going hand in hand so that training is a possible reality, of quality and with values”.

The director of Sergloform has valued “the work of the technical and teaching team”, and has stressed that the results are the result “not only of teaching a subject, but also of transmitting transversal competences, values such as punctuality, organization, respect or tolerance, which are fundamental in the world of work”.

Likewise, Navas recalled that these training actions “respond to the needs of qualification in key sectors of the city, such as care in health and socio-sanitary centers, or the restoration, closely linked to tourism and the multiculturalism of Melilla”.

Both Vera and Navas have agreed to underline the importance of maintaining this joint line of work “to improve employability, foster innovation and retain talent in the city”.
