Overview
- Conselleiro José González announced an Office of Attraction of Talent to coordinate the return of Galicians abroad and planned hiring from third countries starting in 2026.
- The plan includes €1.5 million for housing rehabilitation tied to recruited workers, €1.8 million for Retorna Cualifica Emprego, and a 20% increase in extraordinary return aid to €2.8 million next year.
- New overseas job fairs are planned after recent events in Argentina and Uruguay to connect employers with candidates interested in relocating to Galicia.
- The Xunta is pressing the Spanish government to speed up university degree recognition and to transfer initial work‑authorization powers to Galicia.
- Microcredentials remain a pillar of the strategy, with the Xunta reporting 280 immigrant regularizations through its arraigo program, alongside €44 million for employment workshops, €60 million for training, nearly €41 million for self‑employed support, and AI profiling for 79,000 workers.
