Students from two courses in alternative educational training, (PFAE) have graduated, having completed their theoretical and practical training. The diplomas were presented during June in the presence of their professors and members of the Adeje council.
The councillor Raquel Rodríguez Alonso, in charge of economic development and jobs, said “we have kept our commitment to working towards the re-activation of the local economy and job re-creation. The PFAE courses are a tool to allow us further develop this area in Adeje, working with the job centre, specific training, assessment, available help and assistance, etc. The council continues to work to offset, as much as possible, the economic repercussions of the pandemic. I would like to congratulate the students who have finished their training during what hasn’t been an easy time, particularly in taking on practical classes, and they have demonstrated they are well able to look for strengths in a time of crisis and are now better prepared to meet the next round of challenges”.
PFAE Rompeola
14 young people, from 16 to 29 years of age, completed the ‘Rompeola’ (breakwater) course, which is held in partnership with the Canarian Employment Service and run by the Adeje economic development and jobs department.

Their training included parallel classes in oxygen therapy, psychological and social assistance in emergency situation, Covid-19 infection prevention and control, dealing with fires on water and land, navigation licences. They also received on-location training at ports from maritime staff.
