This plan is the culmination of months of technical and participatory work, involving key social and economic stakeholders in the region. The document, part of the broader Reus Socioeconomic Development and Employment Strategy 2021-2030, incorporates a total of 99 actions, eight of which are new projects.
The strategy, promoted by the Department of Business, Training, and Employment in collaboration with IMFE Mas Carandell, aims to foster comprehensive, intelligent, and sustainable economic growth in the city. It also adopts an open perspective towards the entire Camp de Tarragona area to forge alliances, create opportunities, and promote quality employment.
“"This Action Plan is not just a technical document, but a political commitment to the city we want to build: a Reus that generates opportunities, supports people throughout their working lives, and puts the economy at the service of its people."
The roadmap for the next four years is structured into projects and services designed to strengthen quality employment, professional qualification, career guidance, and support for workers, both unemployed and active. It also includes measures to improve services for businesses, promote entrepreneurship, and enhance territorial cooperation, with the goal of consolidating a robust economic model aligned with the real needs of Camp de Tarragona.
The document is based on five main strategic lines: stable and quality employment, professional training and qualification, a valuable and connected productive fabric, territorial collaboration, and governance. These lines are deployed across ten programs, 26 projects, and the 99 aforementioned actions, including eight new projects or services.
Among the identified challenges are reducing the feminization of unemployment and labor inequalities, improving opportunities for youth, requalifying senior talent, combating temporary employment, better aligning training with business demand, digitalizing SMEs, consolidating businesses, and diversifying the economy towards higher value-added sectors.
The eight new strategic projects include a new opportunities center, a plan to promote Dual Vocational Training, monitoring strategic sectors and value chains, replacement and succession plans, the School of Trades, fostering a professional guidance community, and a technical office with workspaces for the plan.
