A pioneering project offering a first work contract to university graduates

The University and the City Council of Salamanca sign an agreement which will aid the employment of young university students.

This project is a pioneer on the national level and it will allow university students to gain accredited work experience once they finish their degree in the University. In the frame of this project, the City Council will publish a call for 70 contracts, targeted at all companies that wish to participate and another targeted at the students who recently finished their studies or are finishing this year.

The contracts will be paid and will last four months. In this way, the University and the Council join their economic and human strengths with the aim of boosting entrepreneurship and company consolidation.

Those that are interested can get more information in the Council Support Office for Businesses and Entrepreneurs as well as University Service for Professional Integration, Internships and Employment (SIPPE) .
