The initiative seeks to promote the generation of employment in environmental sectors, adapt the training of active workers to the new requirements of the market and strengthen their stability in employment.

The project aims to create new companies or new lines of business in companies already established, through services provided by self-employed professionals through the offer of environmental simulation models recommended by the Directorate General for Environmental Quality and Assessment and the Natural Environment of the Secretary of State for the Environment. after the enactment of the Environmental Responsibility Law, the Water Law and the Law on Waste and Contaminated Soils.

The project offered covers the following aspects:

Trainingin Environmental Simulation Models
Distance training will be given with e-learning methodology on a series of models, recommended by the Directorate General of Quality and Environmental Assessment to comply with the requirements set out in the regulations on environmental responsibility, water and soil pollution:

• MODFLOW: Groundwater Flow Simulation Model
• MT3D: Simulation Models of Groundwater Chemical Quality
• HSSM, Bioscreen and Biochlor: simulation models of pollution induced by the spill of hydrocarbons in both soil and groundwater
• QUAL2K: Surface Water Chemical Quality Model

Advanced Program in Environmental Simulation Models: Integration of the previous models in a single course, benefiting from a complementarity effect.

Personalized advice for the labor application of the knowledge acquired.

Personalised advice will be given in order to facilitate the application of the knowledge acquired for the incorporation of up to five new companies, the incorporation of new lines of business in already established companies and the provision of professional services as self-employed.

The consultancy will resolve both technical aspects for the implementation of the new services and administrative aspects of the incorporation of companies.

The recipients will be technicians with competences in environmental activities that allow them to carry out work to prevent and restore environmental damage contemplated in the Environmental Liability Law, Water Law and Waste and Soil Contamination Law, the recovery of contaminated natural spaces and the rational use of resources that guarantee the sustainability of economic activity.

In addition, the project is aimed at companies (mostly SMEs and micro-SMEs) and self-employed workers already constituted as such, entrepreneurs who plan to set up as a company or self-employed, all of them oriented to the provision of new environmental services related to the scope of the project.

The results that will be achieved with the project are:

• Training of 105 recipients, although the project will reach 220 workers.
• Creation of five companies or new self-employed workers in the sector of provision of services related to environmental simulation models and other new lines of business in companies already incorporated.
• Adaptation of the environmental services provided by companies and professionals to the requirements demanded by the Environmental Liability Law, the Water Law and the Waste and Contaminated Soil Law in terms of environmental impact modeling.
