Youth Employment Collaboration in the Canary Islands

Overview

The Canary Islands government has officially published a new collaboration aimed at boosting youth employment opportunities.

The entity Legiscan Asesores de Empresas, S.L.U., has joined a cooperation agreement between the Canary Islands Employment Service, the University Foundation of Las Palmas, and the Canary Employers' Confederation.

Signed on July 5, 2024, this agreement supports the 'Cataliza VII' project, which provides non-labor practice placements for young people holding degrees but lacking professional experience.

This initiative is part of a broader effort to help young residents transition into the workforce through guided internships in local companies.

Legiscan's recent adhesion, formalized on May 20, 2025, expands the project's reach and underlines the government’s commitment to innovative employment programs.

Significance

Such collaborations matter because they directly support young adults facing high unemployment rates and provide a stepping stone to professional integration.

By creating more pathways for youth to gain practical experience, the Canary Islands aim to foster a more dynamic, inclusive local labor market.
