Canary Islands Youth Employment Initiative

Overview

The Canary Islands government officially announced the adhesion of BlackBox Canarias, S.L. to a collaborative scheme aimed at helping young people enter the workforce. This program, called 'Cataliza VII,' encourages non-labor internships for youth with degrees but no professional experience, giving them valuable on-the-job training.

The move, made public through the official Canary Islands bulletin, highlights efforts to boost youth employment amid ongoing economic challenges.

By joining the scheme, BlackBox Canarias commits to providing practical opportunities that can bridge the gap between education and employment, a critical step in supporting local young professionals.

Transparency and Policy Goals

This transparency measure, required by law, ensures residents stay informed about public-private partnerships shaping the local job market. It also signals the government's focus on fostering employment opportunities tailored to youth, an urgent social need in regions with high youth unemployment rates.

The program is part of broader initiatives designed to facilitate successful labor market integration and prevent early career dropout.
