With the presence of mayor Francisco Azcué, the delivery of certificates corresponding to the year-end of the Directorate of Innovation and Knowledge Economy, which depends on the Special Unit for Strategic Projects, was held in the Assembly Hall of the Municipality of Concordia.
On this occasion, the effort and dedication of both the instructors and those who took the courses throughout the year were celebrated.
In addition to the Municipal President, the event was attended by the Secretary of Government Luciano Dell´Olio, the Secretary of Human Development Sebastián Arístide, the Undersecretary of the Special Unit for Strategic Projects Leandro Garbarino, the Director of Innovation and Knowledge Economy Pedro Kohn; the coordinator of the Talent area Diamantina Miño, and council members.
This year 2024 closes with more than 750 participants and more than 650 certified talents from Concordia in training courses such as Community Manager; Accounting for non-accountants; English for Coders; Concordia Program Cyber Security; Effective Communication for Programmers; 3D Modeling and Realistic Rendering.
The courses and talks also included so-called “soft skills,” within the macro objective of the Directorate of Innovation and Knowledge Economy to prepare young people for the labor market.
PROTAGONISTS OF THE TRANSFORMATION
Upon taking the floor, Azcué expressed his joy and pride in what has been achieved during this first year of administration in these training spaces: “We have a purpose that has to do with the transformation of our city, with Concordia being able to develop, grow, and become thriving again, where there are opportunities.”
In that sense, he insisted that “the protagonists of this transformation are not the politicians; we step away from the center of the stage. It is you, the civil society, it is the intermediate institutions that bring together and represent productive sectors.”
The Municipal President thanked the council members present, as they collaborated to create “those conditions in the case of the Knowledge Economy sector. Concordia is advancing in this sector and is positioning itself at the forefront, on par with the best municipalities in the country,” he added, recalling that currently, any company that decides to invest or develop in these activities “does not pay Commercial municipal tax, nor General Real Estate municipal tax, nor Gross Income tax for 5 years.”
“We are telling companies, SMEs, and developers to come to Concordia, and to those who are from here, to bet on our city because we are going to support them,” affirming that “we dream that Concordia is in the news because it exports knowledge, goods, and quality services.”
JOB CREATION
Garbarino, for his part, recalled that the great objective of the department “is to have one thousand jobs within the Knowledge Economy” and reported that it is currently “the third largest exporting sector in Argentina.”
Finally, Kohn thanked the mayor for “having had this year of transition, in this new administration, where many more resources arrived. For us, it is a dream come true because that is seen today with the number of certificates we have; in fact, we had never had this number of certified people in one year.”
