The Government announced a program to convert social plans into job training.

The courses will include theoretical and practical content, as well as the provision of painting and study materials. The company Sinteplast will be one of the first to participate in the project, covering the training costs. To obtain the certificate, beneficiaries will have to meet a minimum attendance of 70% of the classes.

The training will be delivered at the Human Capital Training Center, located in the Garrigós Complex, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of La Paternal. The space has been in the process of restoration and enhancement since March, with the support of the Stock Exchange. Pettovello's team expects the experience that will begin in January to be progressively extended to municipalities and provinces throughout the country.

This Tuesday, the Chief of Staff, Manuel Adorni, confirmed the program during a press conference. "Social plans are going to be transformed into educational vouchers for training. This way, about 900,000 beneficiaries of the Volver al Trabajo plan are going to start training in order to maintain the plan. Different vocational courses are going to be offered. Some of the agreements with the private sector include companies such as Sinteplast, Mercado Libre, Arcos Dorados, and Quilmes", he stated.

With this initiative, Javier Milei's government seeks to move toward a redesign of the social assistance scheme, orienting it toward job training and greater coordination with the private sector, with the goal of promoting the creation of formal employment.

Each module will have a duration of eight classes and the complete course will extend over two months. At the end, participants will obtain a professional building painting certificate. In this initial phase, it is not planned for beneficiaries to stop receiving their payments while they undergo the training.
