More interviews and vacancies at the new edition of Saló de l’Ocupació
Saló de l’Ocupació returns to Barcelona with a larger edition designed to meet the needs of an increasingly dynamic job market. The event will double its space in Palau 8 at Montjuïc and bring together more companies, training areas, and guidance services for those looking for work or considering a career change.
Under the slogan “T’obrim portes”, the event is aimed at both young people seeking their first job and those who are unemployed, professionals wanting to update their skills, or workers considering a new stage in their careers. The layout will be designed to help define goals, improve skills, and connect with companies offering specific vacancies.
One of the main new features will be “Talent en directe”, a space for quick interviews tailored to each participant’s profile. There will also be job marketplaces by sector, where attendees can meet companies looking to fill positions in high-demand fields.
The increased space will allow for more organisations and resources, as well as dedicated areas for young people. There, guidance will be offered on studies, vocational training, career paths, and options for taking first steps into the job market.
The programme will include practical workshops to prepare for interviews, review CVs, and improve professional presentation. There will also be sessions on the use of artificial intelligence in job searching, from selecting offers to preparing applications.
Personalised advice will play an important role throughout the day. Visitors will be able to resolve doubts, identify skills, and learn about emerging sectors, with the aim of leaving the venue with a clearer plan, not just a collection of leaflets.
More than 100 organisations from Barcelona’s employment ecosystem will take part in the event, alongside public administrations and social partners. At the same time, there will be a session for sector professionals to discuss quality employment and coordination between companies, institutions, and guidance services.
Entry will be free, but prior registration and selection of a time slot will be required. The venue will be open from 9:30 to 18:30, a format designed to spread out attendance and help everyone make the most of the interview, workshop, and advice spaces.
For a few hours, Montjuïc becomes a meeting point between companies and candidates. For many attendees, the value will be in leaving with an interview, a new training opportunity in mind, or a specific door that was previously closed.
