  "account": "The council of Orihuela has employed three individuals who were previously unemployed, using two employment programs backed by grants totaling €77,603. The Valencian Employment and Training Service LABORA administers the projects, which provide participants with ten months of paid work experience to enhance their future job prospects. The EMDONA program, which prioritizes unemployed women aged over 45, provided €39,314 to Orihuela. Two women— one as an administrative assistant and the other as a cleaner— began their contracts on July 30 and will continue until May 29, 2027. The EMCORP program, targeting unemployed people under 30, contributed €38,289, allowing the council to hire a senior forestry and environmental management technician for ten months, from July 31 to May 30, 2027.

Valverde emphasized that every appointment represents an opportunity for an unemployed resident to gain experience, improve their skills, and increase their chances of securing long-term employment. Both grants are financed through Spain’s State Public Employment Service.",
