Canary Islands Youth Employment Partnership

Overview

The Canary Islands government has officially announced a partnership aimed at boosting youth employment through non-paid internships. The collaboration involves:

  • The Canary Islands Employment Service (SCE)
  • The Canary Island University Foundation (FULP)
  • The Canary Islands Confederation of Business Owners (CEE)

The agreement was signed on March 16, 2026, and is part of the 'Cataliza VIII' project, which promotes guided labor insertion for young people holding qualifications but lacking work experience.

Additionally, Ocean Beauty, SCP, has joined the initiative as a participating company as of June 25, 2026.

Goals and Objectives

This move aims to address youth unemployment by providing practical work experience, a crucial step for young professionals entering the job market. It reflects ongoing efforts by regional authorities to create pathways from education to employment, especially in a competitive economic climate.

Under Spanish law, such agreements must be publicly disclosed within 20 days of signing, ensuring transparency and public awareness.

The publication of this collaboration exemplifies the government’s commitment to openness and to fostering initiatives that support young residents' economic integration.
