The Peruvian government allocated more than 6 million soles to create approximately 1,500 temporary jobs across 31 districts in the Lambayeque region.
The Ministry of Labor and Promotion of Employment transferred these funds to local governments in the provinces of Chiclayo, Ferreñafe, and Lambayeque through the Llamkasun Perú program. Workers are currently carrying out 21 infrastructure projects in the region, including the maintenance of roads, irrigation canals, parks, and schools.
In the Íllimo district, a specific urban mobility project using over 1.1 million soles created 48 temporary jobs to improve pavement and sidewalks. The ministry says these roles primarily employ women, older adults, people with disabilities, and unemployed youth. Participants also received training in domestic electrical installations from Sencico to help them secure future work. The government plans to start 10 additional projects in districts such as Jayanca and Mórrope to improve public spaces and markets.
Additionally, the ministry organized a job fair in Chiclayo where 30 companies offered nearly 5,000 vacancies. Since August, the regional employment center has helped 2,038 people secure formal jobs and issued over 57,000 labor certificates.
