Marketplaces are meeting spaces that bring together companies with hiring needs and people looking for new job opportunities. 

Through short interviews and direct contact with recruitment teams, these sessions help streamline recruitment processes and create an initial connection between talent and companies from different sectors. 

The activities are organised with leading companies in the city and in collaboration with the SOC, with the aim of connecting candidates with real job opportunities and bringing them closer to the labour market. In addition to presenting their CV directly and personally, participants can learn first-hand what companies are looking for and which skills are valued in each sector. 

Marketplaces also give companies the opportunity to identify talent in a more agile and direct way, supporting more informed recruitment processes aligned with their hiring needs. 

Upcoming sessions include recruitment processes with companies and sectors such as Urbaser (18 May), care services companies (19 May), Condis and companies looking for junior profiles (20 May), retail companies (27 May), ASPAYM (28 May), companies in the field of the blue economy and maritime law (28 May), and companies in the logistics and transport sector (on 5 June). 

Interested candidates can check upcoming calls and register through the Barcelona Activa website, where they will also find detailed information about the professional profiles being sought and how each recruitment process works.

We are launching the Joves Protagonistes series, a career guidance programme aimed at young people who want to gain first-hand insight into job opportunities in sectors undergoing major change. Through three sessions scheduled between May and June, the programme introduces participants to fields such as tech-driven construction, the blue economy and nutrition, drawing on the experience of young professionals already working in these areas. 

The aim of the programme is to guide and support young people so they can better understand the changes taking place in today’s labour market and imagine their future careers in sectors where technology, science and sustainability are opening up real opportunities for young talent. 

The first session, on 15 May, focuses on tech-driven construction, a field in which digitalisation and innovation are reshaping professions through tools such as digital design, BIM models and more efficient processes. On 7 October, the second session will explore food and nutrition, a growing field driven by health research, new consumption patterns and the challenges of sustainable food systems.  The series will conclude on 20 October with a session on the blue economy, an emerging sector that combines marine conservation with activities such as marine biology, port management and new technologies applied to the sea.

Through this approach, the initiative strengthens its commitment to developing young talent and to connecting training, guidance and new career opportunities in sectors that will be key to the future. 

The programme includes activities with companies from the sector, sessions focused on key trends and professional profiles, networking opportunities, and participation in leading events such as the International Logistics Exhibition (SIL). Participants will have the chance to learn first-hand about new career opportunities driven by sustainability, digitalisation and the transformation of production and distribution models. 

The session on 5 June will include a round table with professionals from CAMPER, SEAT, REVLON and ICIL Foundation, a session on sustainability and green logistics, and talks on key skills for the sector. It will also include spaces focused on job searching and career planning, with guidance to help participants connect with companies’ current needs

The 2025 Report of the Barcelona Labour Rights Commission was presented during the event marking 1 May, focused on the challenges of quality employment and the defence of labour rights. 

The session shared the report’s main conclusions, which analyse the current and future challenges of quality employment in the city and reaffirm Barcelona City Council’s commitment to a fair and equitable labour model aligned with the Barcelona Agreement for Quality Employment (ABOQ). 

The report highlights the work of the Labour Rights Defence Points, which supported 3,644 people in 2025 and have become a key service for information, advice and prevention in situations of job insecurity, particularly in more vulnerable sectors. 

The document also underlines the role of the youth labour advice service and the cooperation between the Labour Inspectorate of Catalonia and the Barcelona City Police in improving the detection of labour infringements. It also notes the need to continue strengthening awareness of labour rights, especially among young people and newcomers. 

Looking ahead to 2026, the report sets out a roadmap focused on strengthening training in labour rights and improving institutional coordination. The aim is to move towards a higher-quality employment model that places the protection of workers at the heart of public policy.

Barcelona has launched the European Capital of Local Commerce 2026 with an event at the Saló de Cent in City Hall, highlighting the strategic role of commerce in the city. The recognition distinguishes Barcelona as the first Visionary City in the category of cities with more than 250,000 inhabitants, thanks to a model based on proximity, diversity and strong local roots. 

Over the next twelve months, a programme of more than 200 activities will be rolled out across the city’s ten districts. It has been designed with the participation of more than 70 organisations and sector stakeholders. The initiatives are structured around three main areas: promotion, reflection and legacy, with the aim of strengthening the commercial fabric and projecting it at European level. 

Key actions include the Local Commerce Fair, which will take place on 9 and 10 May in Plaça de les Glòries; a new consumer voucher campaign to encourage purchases in local shops; and institutional recognition for businesses with 25, 50 and 100 years of history. The programme will also include debate spaces such as the European Forum of Cities and Regions for Local Commerce and the European Benchmarking Sessions, as well as the creation of the European Observatory of Local Commerce to strengthen data collection and cooperation between cities. 

The capital status will also help drive new strategic lines, including the Local Commerce Strategic Plan 2035 and the Markets Plan, aimed at consolidating the sector and adapting it to current challenges. A new label will also be developed to identify businesses aligned with the values of Barcelona’s commercial model. 

Commerce is a key sector for the city’s economy, representing 13.2% of Barcelona’s GDP, with more than 60,000 establishments and over 152,000 people employed. Beyond its economic impact, local commerce contributes to social cohesion, activates public space and strengthens neighbourhood life.

It is aimed at teams with leadership capacity and commitment that are interested in incorporating or strengthening impact criteria in areas such as product or service design, internal organisation and commercial strategy. 

The programme offers two pathways. One focuses on product or service design and commercial strategy, with an emphasis on value proposition, customer experience and brand positioning. The other focuses on internal organisation, participation and governance, addressing structure, processes and spaces for participation.
