In Gipuzkoa, two out of three contracts will be for persons with higher education
Those who have gone to college or have a postgraduate degree account for 47% of contracts, and the high demand for STEM profiles is particularly noteworthy. However, all companies that plan to hire say they have difficulty finding staff and filling vacancies.
University and postgraduate graduates accountfor 47% of contracts in Gipuzkoa, followed by Higher Vocational Training graduates with 20%, according to the latest ADEGI report. In total, approximately 4,700 contracts are planned for those with university and postgraduate studies, about 1,900 for those with Higher Vocational Training, 2,400 for Middle Grade Vocational Training, Basic Vocational Training and Professional Certificates, and about 900 for those with a lower level.
It highlights the high demand for STEM degreesin Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Most of the engagements will be in Industrial Engineering, Electronics, Computer Science, Data Management, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity and Multimedia. In Higher Vocational Training, the most demanded areas are mechanical manufacturing, electricity and electronics, computer and communications, installation and maintenance, and business management.
In Gipuzkoa, the private sector envisages approximately 9,900 contracts by 2026 and the creation of about 4,600 jobs , an increase of 1.9 per cent, slightly lower than in previous years. 58 per cent of companies expect to increase their workforce. Recruitment will respond to the expansion of activity (almost 60 per cent) and the generational relay (40 per cent), since 4,800 people are expected to retire, 83 per cent of whom will be covered by replacement or respite contracts.
The report estimates that more than 80% of new engagements will be indefinite and more than 70% full-time. Replacement or relay contracts will be around 18%.
Lack of profile
The Guipuzcoan companies areexpected to find it difficult to find the profiles they need, as 100 per cent say they have problems filling vacancies, highlighting among the main reasons the lack of training of workers, the decline in demographics and the lower entry of young people into the labour market.
In addition to the fact that more than 70% of companies prefer to hire persons under 45 years of age, more and more people living outside the Basque Country are recruited: one in four companies have experience in this field and more than one third plan to employ persons from other Autonomous Communities, the European Union or third countries.
ADEGI stresses that these data indicate that Gipuzkoa maintains a dynamic economy, capable of generating quality jobs, but faces a growing challenge to meet its talent needs.
