Last Friday, the first session of the “Emprender en tu Barrio” program was held, an initiative that seeks to bring tools and knowledge to the residents of different sectors of Concordia, with the aim of promoting entrepreneurial development at a local level.
On this occasion, the event was held at Liliana González's community kitchen, located in the Nueva Esperanza settlement. During the afternoon, more than 50 residents of different ages, from the San Francisco, Pancho Ramírez, Don Jorge, and Nueva Esperanza neighborhoods, actively participated in the activity. Attendees received detailed information about the work of the different areas of the Secretariat of Productive Development.
The meeting was attended by the Director of Employment, Juan Manuel Scazello; the Head of the Social Economy Department, Miguel Parra; and the team from the Undersecretariat of Development and Entrepreneurship, composed of Andrea Popelka, Yamila Rolón, and Cristian Ponce.
During the day, the importance of supporting both resident entrepreneurs and those who wish to start their own project was highlighted. The "Emprender en tu Barrio" program has the main objective of accompanying and guiding these residents on their path toward the development of their business ideas, providing technical assistance, training, and access to the necessary resources to carry out their ventures.
Andrea Popelka, in charge of the project, stated: “It is essential that entrepreneurs and those who want to become one feel that they are not alone. From the municipality, we are committed to providing them with all the necessary tools so that they can grow and contribute to the economic development of the city”.
This program will continue to be deployed in other neighborhoods of Concordia, with the aim of covering as many communities as possible, thus generating a positive and lasting impact on the local economy.
For more information about "Emprender en tu Barrio" and future sessions, interested parties can go to the offices of the Undersecretariat of Development and Entrepreneurship, located on the 2nd floor of the Civic Center of Concordia from Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
