Overview

  • Spain’s Council of Ministers, which met Tuesday, approved the 2026 public employment offer covering the central state, police, Guardia Civil and the armed forces for a total of 37,017 posts.
  • Government figures put the central administration’s share at 26,886 jobs—20,541 open entry and 6,345 internal promotion—plus 346 climate-response posts, though some outlets reported 27,232 for the state tier.
  • The plan prioritizes digital skills with 1,700 IT specialist positions, first-time specialty exams to recruit talent in AI, cybersecurity and data science, and mandatory AI modules in new-hire training.
  • The government projects around 6,200 net additions because most posts replace retirees, reflecting how Spain’s annual offers refill vacancies while adding a smaller layer of new roles.
  • CCOO, UGT and CSIF declined to endorse the offer, citing a lack of detailed figures in talks, and the decree now heads to Spain’s official bulletin before each agency opens its selection processes.
