more than 200 activities were organized by the exhibiting entities.
Autoocupació proposed a total of 3 activities, two of them linked to the Emprèn area, an advisory space for young entrepreneurs, and one linked to the Apropa’t area, a space for third-sector entities and their training, job placement, or educational opportunity projects.
The Youth Employment Fair is part of the
Plan for the Promotion of Quality Youth Employment 2016-2020 and was held concurrently with the
Education Fair and the
Futura Fair, aiming to complement its offerings and position itself as a source of opportunities and a guide for all young people who wish to start or improve their professional career.
