Alcalá brings together 40 companies and nearly 900 registrants at its job fair

Nearly 900 people had registered to take part in the 4th 'Creating Opportunities for Employment' Fair in Alcalá de Guadaíra, which has brought together more than 40 companies at the Caseta Municipal. The event, also open to people from across the whole province, served to hand in CVs in person and speak directly with human resources departments. The event also offered workshops, job-search tools and coping techniques, according to the Town Hall. Among the attractions of this fourth edition was the chance to talk with the selection managers of the participating companies, present one's professional profile and opt for interviews on the spot when possible. Information was also provided on job offers and hiring needs, along with guidance on facing selection processes. The mayor, Ana Isabel Jiménez, has stated that the local administration has two tools to promote employment. The municipal delegate for Employment, Paula Fuster, has specified that one is training, with the Relanza-T programme for 800 people, and the other is knowledge of the business fabric and its needs. Jiménez has thanked Cruz Roja for its work and the participating companies for their efforts. The provincial coordinator of the Cruz Roja Sevilla employment plan, Carmen de la Corte, has explained that the organisation is returning to Alcalá because of the number of companies and the city's employment potential. «Something companies value highly is that they can see interested candidates face to face and, for attendees likewise, because they can hand in their CV in person,» she has stated. The organisation serves from its local office at calle Barrio Obrero 3. The municipal Relanza-T programme has opened its third call of 2026 with around twenty free training pathways in sectors such as Administration, Retail, Civil Works, IT, Mechanics, Image, Hospitality, Tourism, Environment or Sociocultural Services. The sixth edition includes an Auxiliar de Almacén y Carretillas Elevadoras course for young people between 16 and 29 years old.
