The Pro Education and Employment Foundation has launched the Contrata-Me (Hire-Me) application, which seeks to promote inclusive employment at no cost to society.

Managing, marketing, and promoting employment in an inclusive and responsible manner is the main objective of the digital application Contrata-me. 

The platform is a technological tool that contributes to the scope of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Through this application people can search for a job, companies can also recruit human capital. This will have no cost for people who wish to opt for a place.

Alejandro Quijada, Director of the Pro Education and Employment Foundation, said this platform will facilitate the hiring process.

"We'll be linking job opportunities with those who are looking for employment in an inclusive manner," he said.

This application also seeks to generate a more inclusive environment through sensitizing and engaging entrepreneurs and collaborators in the management of human talent to be inclusive.

"We seek to promote jobs for anyone who is looking for one, regardless of their current condition," Quijada said.

Along this line, it was also mentioned that it is expected that there will be no exclusion by age or other factors.

UNEMPLOYMENT

Javier Zepeda, Executive Director of the Chamber of Industry of Guatemala, also participated in the activity, and explained that there is a large number of people seeking employment but not enough demand.

"In Guatemala there is a high level of unemployment; an average of seven thousand people per year is integrated into the supply and demand is very low," Zepeda explained.

Likewise, the Executive Director of the Chamber of Industry of Guatemala indicated that there is a high number of informal employment.

"We have a high level of informality - two out of seven jobs are formal," said Javier Zepeda.

So he said that these types of platforms are opportunities to generate jobs, which benefits not only companies but also people looking for a job.
