Paracel will create 4,000 direct jobs. The company is also expected to create 36,000 indirect jobs in the region, creating a total of 40,000 jobs.

Approximately 8,000 people will work, at peak, in the construction phase of the industrial plant.

To ensure that people have optimal living conditions, during the construction stage, Paracel will build temporary housing, meeting the criteria defined in Sustainable Development Goal 11; Sustainable Cities and Communities.

At Paracel, we are looking to hire as many people as possible from the Concepción area and Paraguay. It is important to mention that during the construction phase and the first years of operation of the plant, it will also be necessary to hire specialized foreign labor, since Paraguay lacks experience in this area. During the construction phase of the plant, Paracel will invest in ongoing training for the local labor force through partnerships with technical and university educational institutions.

Paracel has a policy, which recognizes that human rights are inherent, inalienable, universal, indivisible and interdependent: 

• • inherent, because they belong to all people.
  • inalienable, because people cannot renounce them or be deprived of them by governments or any other institution.
  • universal, because they are applicable to all people regardless of their condition.
  • indivisible, since none of the human rights can be selectively ignored.
  • interdependent, because the fulfillment of one right contributes to the fulfillment of other rights.

Paracel developed a Mobility Policy, which contemplates the actions to be taken in order to accompany the migration processes of people to Concepción.

Paracel, within its National and International Mobility Policy, contemplates the actions to be taken once the international or national assignment is completed. In this sense, it is important to highlight that Paracel will accompany this process through the Human Talent area.
