The territorial delegate of the Xunta, Alfonso Villares, today congratulated in Lugo the hundred unemployed individuals who completed the Integrated Employment Program of the Provincial Association of Hospitality and Tourism Entrepreneurs of Lugo (Apehl), aimed at their training and incorporation into the sector.

The delegate highlighted the importance of having qualified professionals to strengthen the hospitality sector, explaining that these types of training actions are designed to meet the needs of the productive fabric.
The program offered courses focused on hospitality specialties such as allergen identification, food handling, kitchen assistant, waiter assistant, healthy cooking, and protocol, as well as recycling awareness.
Students also received training in digital skills, customer service, and job search techniques, along with personalized guidance and advice.
