The Marbella Job Fair will offer 2,000 job positions

The Marbella Job Fair, organized by the City Council, expects more than 5,000 attendees and will offer 2,000 job positions in its seventh edition, which will take place on January 16th at the Adolfo Suárez Palace of Fairs and Congresses, as announced this Friday by Mayor Ángeles Muñoz.

This was highlighted by the mayor during the presentation of the latest updates of the event, where she was accompanied by the sector advisor, Alejandro Freijo, which will run from 09:00 to 18:00 hours.

Muñoz pointed out that the Job Fair has become "a benchmark in the sector" and mentioned that this edition has been moved up due to "companies showing a more constant demand for employees due to the breaking of traditional seasonality."

“Areas such as tourism, technology, sustainability, and services are increasingly requiring more qualified personnel throughout the year and from the City Council we want to facilitate this meeting between employers and professionals,” she noted.

Muñoz detailed that the fair, which is free to access through downloading a ticket from the following enabled link, will feature 120 stands with the presence of prominent local, national, and international companies.

Among them, there will be presence of hotels such as Puente Romano, Marbella Club, Fuerte Group, Barceló, Hard Rock; restaurants like Dani García, La Sala, or Da Bruno; entertainment venues such as Grupo Mosh, Marbella Arena, or Fuerte Nagüeles, and large retailers like El Corte Inglés, Leroy Merlin, Ikea, Primark, Carrefour, Alcampo, and Maskom.

Training Activities

Additionally, there will be a space for learning and professional growth with a program of training activities for attendees to enhance their skills and prepare for the challenges of today's job market.

The agenda will include presentations on 'Key aspects of the current job market and future employment trends', 'Improving interpersonal skills and teamwork', 'Employment trends and challenges', and 'How artificial intelligence is transforming the sector and what skills are needed to stand out in this environment'.

On the other hand, the mayor emphasized the economic figures recorded in 2024, ending that year with a record in employment. In this regard, she recalled that last December, the city ended with 7,876 unemployed individuals, which represents a reduction of 1,086 people compared to the same month the previous year (8,962).

According to the mayor, this figure represents "the best year-end since 2007, confirming the positive trend of the job market in Marbella." "We are committed to the unemployed in our municipality and that is why we continue to support initiatives like this fair," she remarked.
