The WAVE PLUS Plan mobilizes €8.98 million for training employed workers
The Aragonese Employment Institute (INAEM) will administer this vocational training for employment call, aimed at improving the employability of workers and adapting their qualifications to the transformation of Aragón’s productive economy.
The program prioritizes technology training, the advancement of digital skills, and the incorporation of new professional profiles. INAEM Managing Director Agustín García Inda said employment policies must anticipate changes in the labor market and provide tools to support workers’ professional development.
The funding is multiannual: €5,390,304 is allocated for 2026 and a further €3,593,536 for 2027. The funds come from the Ministry of Labor and Social Economy and reach Aragón through agreements of the Sectoral Conference on Employment and Labor Affairs.
The call splits funding between sector-specific and cross-sector training
The budget is divided into two blocks, each with an initial allocation of €4,491,920: sector-specific programs and cross-sector programs. The initiative is intended to address the qualifications sought by companies and strengthen the preparedness of the workforce for current and future needs.
Sector-specific training will cover areas including agriculture and food industries, commerce and marketing, construction and civil engineering, hospitality and tourism, chemicals, energy and the environment, metalworking, industry and facilities, social services, and transport and logistics.
Grants will be awarded through a competitive selection process. Local authorities and private training providers with accredited or registered centers in the relevant registries will be eligible.
Training programs may be delivered in person or online
Courses may be delivered in person or through online training, under the terms established in the call. The measure falls under INAEM within the Department of Economy, Competitiveness and Employment.
The call was published on November 12, 2026, establishing an investment aimed at strengthening the professional adaptability of employed workers in Aragón.
