Tenerife Employment and Training Council Update

Announcement Details

On July 28, 2025, the Canary Islands' Ministry of Tourism and Employment officially announced a change in the composition of the Tenerife Employment and Training Council.

  • D. JosĂ© Juan TimĂłn HernĂĄndez-Abad was removed as a substitute member representing the business organizations.
  • D. Theo Hernando Olmo was appointed in his place.

This update reflects ongoing efforts to ensure balanced representation within key economic and social bodies, in compliance with regional laws on gender equality and good governance.

Significance of the Council

The Council plays a vital role in shaping employment policies on the island, involving:

  • Local government
  • Unions
  • Business leaders

These appointments are part of broader administrative adjustments, anchored in laws that promote transparent and balanced participation of different sectors.

Why This Matters

With Tenerife being a major tourist hub and economic center, having a well-functioning, representative council influences decisions that affect job creation, training programs, and economic development, directly impacting residents’ day-to-day lives.

The change underscores the government’s commitment to transparent governance and inclusive representation, especially in sectors pivotal to the island’s prosperity.
