Hiring via Feina Activa: State Fund for Employment and Local Sustainability

In 2008 the Spanish government created the Local Investment State Fund, with an amount of 8,000 million euros, with the aim of increasing public investment in the local sphere, by means of financing newly-planned works of immediate execution and under the auspices of the local entities.

This year,through the Royal Decree-Law 13/2009 of the 26 October, the creation of a new Fund was passed which included the objective that the investments, projects and actions financed contribute to economic, social and environmental sustainability. This is the State Fund for Employment and Local Sustainability.

One of aims of this Fund is to increase public investment in the local sphere through financing of job creation actions in newly-planned works and of immediate execution that are the responsibility of the municipal authorities.

Within this setting, the Catalan Employment Service is making available to successful bidding companies the Feina Activa Portal as a search tool of suitable profiles.

As support in the search for workers to employ in projects financed by the State Fund for Employment and Local Sustainability using the Feina Activa Portal we place the following information at your disposal:
