Fulgencio Gil maintains the first working meeting between the City Council, the Regional Employment and Training Service and the Comarca with the aim of coordinating the training courses to qualify the approximately 300 new employees they will need for their new facilities.
The Mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, along with the general director of the Employment and Training Service of the Region of Murcia (SEF), Severa Gonzalez, held this morning a working meeting with representatives of the meat industry "The Shire" , with the objective of coordinating the resources of both institutions with regard to the training of the workers that this firm plans to hire for their new roadside facilities in Caravaca, as well as to improve the training of those workers who will continue with their jobs but they require an advance in their theoretical and practical knowledge.
Fulgencio Gil has stressed that from public administrations we are committed to companies and their workers, especially those who are committed to our municipality, to generate employment and promote Lorca's economy.
In the specific case of La Comarca, we are talking about one of the leading companies in the agri-food sector, specializing in meat production, which is building one of the most powerful facilities in the country, with plans to generate around 300 new jobs, with an investment of 35 million euros.
In Lorca we live especially in the primary sector, our main socio-economic engine.
We are going to support it in a resounding way, as we have always done.
In this case it is essential that the administration make available the necessary resources to undertake as soon as possible the development of the training actions so that unemployed people can access a job, at the same time that the training of those who already have been retrained or improved. they are part of it.
Lorca is a land of opportunities for companies such as La Comarca, which are committed to our people and our city.
The general director of the Employment and Training Service (SEF), Severa González, pointed out that we are facing a training challenge that constitutes a great opportunity for Lorca.
We need to specify the training needs that are needed, acting hand in hand with this company for training both unemployed who can access a new job as the one that indicates that it can be useful for employees of the industry itself.
In this way we started working this morning so that they can be incorporated gradually.
We work side by side with the company, offering on-demand training.
The human resources manager of La Comarca, José Ramón García, thanked the collaboration that will be provided for the configuration of its new staff.
We have a very important challenge ahead, we are talking about incorporating between 12 and 15 people per week, we have to prepare and train these workers, so we have requested the support of the SEF.
The works of the new facilities can end between the second quarter and the middle of 2019, and we want to start training programs at the beginning of the year, so we have to work now to have everything scheduled before the start of the year.
We are talking about new workers, meat industry officers with training, in addition to others needed for maintenance and even with engineering training, tasks parallel to the main activity.
The plant is destined for export, going from 15% to 50% of the total turnover.
The focus is on serving the foreign market, since it presents a constant and booming demand.
Fulgencio Gil recalled that the works of the new facilities involve an investment of 35 million euros, and includes cutting rooms pork channels, meat packaging, freezing, a frozen storage of frozen 32 meters high and a reserved space to expedition.
For the execution of these facilities, its promoters acquired a cement industry that left the city a plot of 300,000 m2, an area that will be ordered by a partial municipal plan.
The first phase comprises an area of ​​approximately 30,000 m2 on which the main building is built, while another area of ​​almost 100,000 m2 is used for parking and vehicle access for transport.
The Mayor has anticipated that the forecasts suggest that the first phase, after the corresponding period of set-up usual in this type of large-scale industries, will allow the daily cutting of 4,000 pigs, which will mean 1 million copies each year.
The facilities will have the capacity to store 200 tons of frozen meat daily.
These are figures that ratify the ambition with which this project starts, designed to conquer meat industry markets nationwide and export to the whole world.
