Canary Islands Youth Employment Initiative

Overview

The Canary Islands' government has officially published the participation of Activa Trabajo Canarias ETT, S.L. in a major youth employment project.

This initiative, outlined in a collaboration signed on July 5, 2024, involves:

• The Canary Islands Employment Service
• The Fundación Canaria Universitaria de Las Palmas
• The Confederación Canaria de Empresarios

It aims to provide practical, non-labor internships for young people with academic qualifications but lacking professional experience.

The recent announcement confirms the company's commitment to offering these opportunities as part of the 'Cataliza VII' program, which seeks to help young residents gain work experience and improve their employability.

Broader Context

This move underscores a broader effort by the regional government to combat youth unemployment by fostering direct ties between students and local businesses.

Publicizing these agreements publicly adheres to transparency laws and helps inform residents about available opportunities.

Opportunities for Residents and Expatriates

For expats and job seekers in the area, the program represents a promising pathway into the local labor market, especially for recent graduates eager to start their careers.

Regional Government's Goals

The official publication and detailed agreements serve as a reminder of how regional authorities are actively working to bridge the gap between education and employment, ultimately aiming to:

• Create more inclusive job prospects
• Tailor opportunities to the needs of young professionals in the Canary Islands.
