Cordoba has completed one of the most important events of the year in the field of employability with the celebration of the ” “Talent Tour“ an event organised by the Fundación Princesa de Girona in which more than 6,000 children between the ages of 14 to 20 years of age participated. Her Majesty Queen Letizia was in charge of inaugurating the event.

This initiative, which was held from 13 to 19 April, hosted debates, presentations, conferences, workshops, shows and exhibitions with the aim of connecting with opportunities for personal growth and, at the same time, promoting what makes this sector of the population unique.

It was attended on the behalf of Magtel by the Head of Recruitment and Talent Management of the Personnel Area, Álvaro Barona and the Training Technician, Cristina Gallego and the technician of Employability Programmes of the Fundación Magtel, Cristina Gallardo and the Projects Technician of the same entity, Rocío Ciero.

Prior to the workshops given by Magtel’s professionals, the head of Recruitment and Talent Management of the company’s People Department gave a talk entitled “Hack the job search, do you dare?” in which he presented Magtel, as well as Fundación Magtel.

In addition, he explained the activity carried out in the field of employability and the vision and perspective for the attraction and management of talent, the personal vision of the recruiter; and the analysis of the current labour market, taking into account the most in-demand profiles and the importance of continuous training.

Finally, Fundación Magtel’s Project Technician, Rocío Ciero, gave an overview of how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can have an effect on selection processes.

During the rest of the day, the following workshops were held three training workshops led by Magtel technicians Cristina Gallego, Cristina Gallardo and Rocío Ciero with the aim of improving the employability of the participants. These include workshops on how to improve  LinkedIn profiles and understanding the InfoJobs application from a recruiter’s point of view.

These tools are essential for those seeking to increase their employability in an increasingly competitive market.

The “Talent Tour will come to Lugo on 2 May for a new meeting with young people on the field of employability.

A young university graduate registered with the SAE (Andalusian Employment Service) with no prior employment has been recruited

Last December, the Magtel Foundation began the second phase of its “Digital transformation of recruitment processes in social centres” project. The project’s objective was to simplify the recruitment processes in social centres by implementing digital transformation. This programme ran for six months and ended on 31 May.

The first phase, carried out between December 2019 and April 2020, consisted of a study of the jobs, analysing the skills required according to the most sought-after professional profiles in social centres.

This second phase, which has received funding from Imdeec-Esal covering 69.7% of the project’s cost, resulted in the hiring of a young university student with no previous formal employment. The student was registered in the city of Cordoba and had signed up as a job seeker with the SAE. The Magtel Foundation contributed its own funds to cover the remaining 30.21% of the programme’s cost. Its objectives include the social transformation of social centres and the promotion of social and labour inclusion for young people, particularly those who struggle to find their first job and gain their first formal experience of the working world related to their university qualification.

This initiative has boosted productive sectors in the municipal district of Cordoba, as well as the inclusion of new technologies within management processes of social centres and institutions.

José de la Torre y Cerro

For many years, José de la Torre y Cerro was the official chronicler for the Córdoba province. He studied the life of the city’s distinguished residents, particularly those involved in the relationship between Córdoba and America, and his work stands out for its ability to convey the importance of what miscegenation represents today. He also headed Córdoba institutions such as the Archive of the Tax Administration Office, the Córdoba Archeology Museum, the Provincial Public Library of Córdoba and the Provincial Historical Archive of Córdoba.
