Canary Islands' Employment Services Enhancement

Overview

The Canary Islands’ government is taking steps to boost its employment services by creating a new list of qualified candidates to fill 158 interim technical positions in the Employment Body. This move aims to strengthen the public employment network, mainly through the Canary Islands Employment Service, ensuring they have enough skilled professionals to provide personalized, high-quality career guidance and job placement services.

Alignment with National Strategy

These efforts align with Spain’s broader 2025-2028 Active Employment Strategy, which emphasizes:

• Improving professional guidance networks
• Acting swiftly to address urgent staffing needs

Responsibilities of Appointed Personnel

The newly appointed interim workers will be responsible for critical tasks such as:

• Counseling
• Designing individual employment plans
• Engaging with the labor market

These functions are especially vital for residents seeking support in finding work.

Management and Appointment Process

The government has formally delegated the authority to appoint and manage these personnel to the Director of the Canary Islands Employment Service. This means the appointment process, including:

• Creating the candidate list
• Staffing decisions

will be handled efficiently and transparently.

Broader Goals and Benefits

This initiative reflects Spain’s commitment to:

• Reducing temporary employment
• Increasing the quality of public employment services

For residents, it promises:

• Better, more professional guidance
• A more effective and reliable job search experience.
