Spain Is Hiring! See the Jobs and Apply
Spain holds a fascination for many American expats looking for a path to Europe. It’s for good reason, too; the country offers quality healthcare, safety, and infrastructure, which create a great place to raise a family. Their progressive values also make Spain a welcoming community for LGBTQ+ and other vulnerable groups. For many would-be expats, the challenge lies in finding a job to support themselves. Fortunately, a solution has just arrived.
In 2021, Spain announced the Plan to Boost the Audiovisual Sector, aimed at transforming the country into a leader for A/V production in the digital age. The government invested €1.6 billion through 2025 to hire skilled workers into audiovisual jobs across all regions. Employers involved in the initiative include Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Rakuten TV, Netflix, Electronic Arts, and many more.
