Canary Islands Youth Employment Initiative Update

Key Collaboration Agreement

The Canary Islands government has officially published the addition of the 'Centro de Psicología Clínica y de la Salud, SLUP' to a key collaboration agreement aimed at boosting youth employment. Originally signed in July 2024, this agreement involves:

• the Canary Islands Employment Service
• the Fundación Canaria Universitaria
• the Canary Employers Confederation (CCE)

Focus of the Agreement

It focuses on providing unpaid internships for young people with qualifications but no professional experience, as part of the 'Cataliza VII' project.

This recent attachment of a new company to this initiative could expand traineeship opportunities, offering young jobseekers valuable real-world experience and improving their chances to enter the labor market.

Regional Efforts and Impact

This move aligns with regional efforts to tackle youth unemployment by fostering practical skills. For residents, especially young adults seeking their first job, such collaborations represent a significant step forward, opening more doors for practical training in a competitive job market.

Transparency and Commitment

The public nature of this announcement ensures transparency and highlights the government’s commitment to supporting youth integration into the workforce.
