Canary Islands Establish 2026 Deadlines for Disability Employment Grants
Canary Islands Employment Service 2026 Grants for People with Disabilities
The Canary Islands' Employment Service has announced the application timeframes for 2026 for grants aimed at promoting the employment of people with disabilities. These grants support various initiatives, including:
- Permanent contracts
- Employment in special centers
- Workplace adaptations
- Salary subsidies
All designed to boost inclusion in both regular and protected labor markets.
Broader Strategy and Legal Context
This move is part of a broader strategy to address the challenges faced by disabled individuals seeking work, aligning local efforts with national and EU regulations.
The grants are considered 'minimis' aid, meaning they are small-scale subsidies that do not distort competition under EU rules.
Applicants in different sectors will need to register their aid in the national database, ensuring transparency.
Application Process and Important Dates
- The deadline for submission will be published soon.
- Applications are to be made electronically.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of these funds in removing barriers for disabled workers and promoting social inclusion, especially given the strict regulations and the need for transparency.
Residents interested in these opportunities should stay alert for the official deadlines and application procedures, as the grants are integral to fostering a more inclusive, accessible labor market in the Canary Islands.
