Asime Opens 100 Places in Eighth Integrated Employment Programme

The one-year publicly subsidised scheme aims to match unemployed people from priority groups to metal-sector jobs through technical training, personalised guidance, employer intermediation.

Overview

  • Asime opened applications on Monday for 100 places in its eighth Programa Integrado de Empleo, with 60 spots in Vigo and 40 in Narón and a selection deadline of 29 December 2026.
  • The programme is funded by the Xunta’s Consellería de Emprego, Comercio e Emigración and the national Ministerio de Trabajo y Economía Social and sets an insertion target of at least 45 percent.
  • Participants follow a one-year itinerary that includes technical modules such as welding, logistics and administration, at least five personalised career‑guidance sessions, and active job intermediation with local employers.
  • Practical supports to boost participation include a €10 daily attendance bursary, schedule adjustments and arrangements with childcare and dependency centres to ease work–life conciliation.
  • This eighth edition builds on seven prior rounds that trained and oriented more than 750 people and often converted non‑labour internships into paid contracts, reflecting a sustained public‑private effort to close a skills gap in Galicia’s metal industry.
