In the case of people with disabilities<\/strong>, the support will be extended for six months<\/strong>.\n\nOne of the key aspects of the program is that beneficiaries will be integrated from the beginning into the social security system<\/strong>, which guarantees access to health, coverage for occupational risks, and social security rights.\n\nThe president of the Confederation of Employers of the Dominican Republic (Copardom)<\/strong>, Laura Pe\u00f1a Izquierdo<\/strong>, valued RD-Trabaja as a tool that promotes employability through cooperation between the State and the business sector, allowing the training of talent adapted to the needs of each company.\n\nSimilarly, Nathalie Alvarado<\/strong>, representative of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)<\/strong> in the country, highlighted that the program modernizes labor intermediation services and improves the connection between available vacancies and suitable profiles.\n\nRD-Trabaja is part of a set of active employment policies that includes the modernization of the National Employment Service (SENAE)<\/strong>, the strengthening of the Territorial Employment Offices (OTE)<\/strong>, the expansion of employment days and the increase of technical training in coordination with INFOTEP<\/strong>.\n\nThe program is aimed at young people between 18 and 35 years old<\/strong>, as well as adults over 35, promoting the inclusion of women, people with disabilities, and other groups historically excluded from the formal labor market.\n\n\n
