The Xunta allocates 1.2 million to employment agents in social entities

The Department of Employment, Trade and Emigration of the Xunta de Galicia announces 1,200,000 euros in grants for non-profit entities to hire employment agents and support units dedicated to the integration of people with disabilities or at risk of social exclusion. The call is established in the Order of September 9, 2026, published in the Official Gazette of Galicia (DOG No. 178, of September 18, 2026), under the procedure code TR352B. Interested entities have one month from the day following publication to submit their application.

The regulation, signed by the counselor José González Vázquez, establishes the regulatory bases and the call for the year 2026 under a competitive bidding process, within the institutional cooperation programs with non-profit entities providing social services. The funding comes from application 14.02.322C.481.8 (project code 2015 00522) of the Autonomous Community budgets for 2026, approved by Law 4/2025, of December 23, with a global amount of 1,200,000.00 euros. The order is framed within the Spanish Strategy for Active Employment Support 2025-2028 (Royal Decree 633/2025, of July 15) and the Annual Plan for the Promotion of Decent Employment 2026.

The call uniquely and exclusively gathers the aid lines for the dynamization of employment through the hiring or extension of the hiring of employment agents and support units, and replaces the approach of other previous calls. The extract of the call, with the reference an1f8qn1-6gg3-wht5-pwx2-ce1tsuvmxdt0, was published in the same section of the bulletin (p. 49512) and in the National Grants Database, with the identifier BDNS 929853.
