The program is designed to help young people gain valuable work experience and to learn new skills. It is also intended to help them develop a sense of civic responsibility and to contribute to the development of their community.
“The holiday jobs program is an important part of the municipality’s efforts to create opportunities for young people”. Mayor Fampou said
adding that “the program helps to prepare young people for the job market and that it also helps to keep them off the streets during the holidays”.
