The initiative is aimed at municipalities, inter-municipal associations, and island councils. Each entity can submit a single project and apply for a subsidy of up to €15,000, which may cover 100% of the eligible expenses.
In addition to meetings between companies and job seekers, the fairs can include a program of labor orientation activities. These will feature talks on the most in-demand professional profiles, the competencies companies seek, keys to facing selection processes, and tools for active job searching, as well as topics like self-employment and job opportunities in other European countries.
The grants will cover organizational and dissemination expenses, infrastructure, and necessary services for the events, as well as labor counseling and intermediation activities. Attendance for the public and participation by companies will be free of charge.
Interested administrations can submit their applications until November 25th, exclusively electronically through the Government of the Canary Islands' portal. The subsidies will be awarded through a competitive bidding process, based on the evaluation criteria published in the Official Gazette of the Canary Islands (BOC) on November 4th.
In parallel, the SCE is organizing the 3rd Canary Islands Job Fair with over fifty participating companies. The first event will take place on November 13th at Rambla de Mesa y López, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and the second on November 19th at Parque García Sanabria in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Labor orientation will also be offered at both events.
