📋 Tender Overview
The Minister of Labor and Employment Promotion, Daniel Maurate Romero said that his sector is focused on working on strengthening employability in favor of the population in vulnerable situations and stressed the importance of human capital as a tool for productivity and investment.
It was at the closing of the technical table "Strengthening capacities and competences in employment and vocational training 2023", which was attended by representatives of the regional Labor and Employment directorates throughout the country, who presented on the requirements of the population of their jurisdictions.
"We work on human capital, employment, employability, we focus on the generation of skills and that, in short, helps us boost productivity," said the minister, who highlighted the important work of the regions in economic reactivation.
For this reason, Maurate Romero urged the representatives of the regions to work on human capital to reduce the rates of labor informality and unemployment, especially of young people in the regions who graduate from educational institutions every year.
"The work you have is vital and very important: Promote employment, train young people, give them employability, provide them with skills so that they can insert themselves into the labor market, work hand in hand with labor demand," he said.
At another time, the head of the MTPE also announced that, in 2024, the temporary employment program Llamkasun Peru will return to its most productive format to do infrastructure works with local governments such as squares, sidewalks, roads, roads and classrooms for school and infrastructure.
For his part, the Deputy Minister of Employment Promotion and Labor Training, Jesús Baldeón Vásquez indicated that the MTPE, in coordination with authorities from the three levels of government, strengthens the capacities of the vulnerable population in order to reincorporate them into the formal and decent labor market.
He said the goal is to address the problems of unemployment, underemployment and labor inadequacy that ultimately lead to informality.
The MTPE official explained that this last point also deserves special attention, because according to statistics six out of ten young people who seek to enter the labor market, do so in an activity that is not related to what they have studied.
In turn, the regional director of work and employment promotion of the San Martín region, Cristina Torres Palomino, highlighted this type of activities because they serve to improve and articulate efforts for the good of the population in search of employment, as well as in favor of the population that has some type of disability.
Likewise, Javier Torres Saravia, regional labor manager of La Libertad, said that these spaces serve to advance policies in favor of the neediest working population, especially in terms of training for employment; and also because it serves to listen to the voice of the representatives of the regions.
Similarly, Daniel Masías Olivera, regional manager of Labor and Employment Promotion of the Cusco region, said that this meeting is important for there to be a rapprochement between the national government and the regional government in order to reflect jointly on the employment situation and propose alternative solutions in this regard.
It is worth mentioning that in this activity they addressed issues related to job training, the national strategy for the promotion of the Certification of Labor Competencies, the new technical and regulatory instruments for the strengthening of the management of the promotion of self-employment, the Wiñay Warmi strategy and its implementation, the importance of the Socio-Economic Labor Observatory (OSEL) and Services of the new Management Model, the route to employability, among other topics.
