Spain Activity Report 2018

A. Executive summary

The main purpose of EURES Spain for 2018 will be the implementation of the new

EURES Regulation as regards the following issues:

1. Admission of new Members and Partners.

2. Putting in place of the Performance Measurement System (PMS), together

with data collection and analysis (number of contacts, number of vacancies,

jobs applications and CVs, and customer satisfaction).

3. Keep on working on the common IT platform, with its improvements on the

interoperability database.

4. Develop Apprenticeship and Traineeship programs.

5. Reinforce the Communication Strategy of EURES Spain.

6. Strengthen mobility programs via: YFEJ, REACTIVATE and EUROPEAN

SOLIDARITY CORPS.

Besides, it is our intention to continue improving job placement activities as well as

developing and supporting actions of guidance for jobseekers and employers in the

European countries.

In this line of action, EURES Spain will reinforce different activities related to the

Intra-European labor mobility. The projects that will be developed are as follows:

1. EURES Spain is highly interested in the organization and put in practice of projects

involving apprenticeship and traineeship in VT (Spanish FP), following the successful

experience of the mobility project called “The Job of my Life/MOBIPRO-EU” aimed at

the apprenticeships in the Vet Dual System in Germany. EURES Spain will look for

Partners among companies from different European countries to organize language

courses in Spain followed by a traineeship period and eventually do the VT (FP in

Spain) in the country of destination.

2

2. The commitment to promote labor mobility among young people by supporting,

as a partner, the projects “Your First EURES Job” (led by Italy, France, Germany, and

Sweden), "Reactivate" (led by Italy, France, and Sweden), and "European Solidarity

Corps" (led by Italy and France), as part of our EURES Activity Plan.

3. The successful use of the EOJD platform encourages us to keep on organizing on-

line and on-site events with this platform in 2018. EURES Spain has also taken active

part during 2017 in the organization and development of EOJD, being the “European

Digital Job Fair” one of the most relevant ones, organized in Madrid by EURES Spain

in collaboration with the Secretariat of the Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs and Digital

EUROPE. The good results achieved encourage us to continue in 2018 in this line of

work.

4. We also continue with the development of our National Communication Strategy

and the improvement of the presence of EURES Spain in social media, with a

reinforced energy after receiving the “Best Social Media Award” of the EURES

Communications Excellence Awards 2015, opening new communication channels as

Linkedin, live-stream workshops, and a EURES-Spain Blog, improving the

monitoring and the relevant indicators, increasing the involvement of the whole

EURES-SPAIN Network, and adding new audiences improving our services to

national employers (and therefore introducing new key messages in our strategy)

and to Spanish workers working abroad and wishing to come back- reversal

mobility-included in information and recruitment events.

5. The reinforcement of the services to employers is going to be one of the main

goals to achieve in 2018.
