Canary Islands Government Launches Youth Work Experience Initiative

Overview

The Canary Islands government has officially published a new collaboration aimed at helping young people gain work experience. The public bulletin confirms the adherence of Arimotor Gestión, S.L. to a collaboration agreement signed last July between the Canary Islands Employment Service, the University Foundation of Las Palmas, and the Canary Employers Confederation.

This partnership is part of a broader project called "Cataliza VII," which promotes internships for young graduates without professional experience.
