The Burgos employers’ federation FAE ASEMAR announced on 3 February that it is reviving its “Despertando Oportunidades” (‘Awakening Opportunities’) initiative, suspended during the pandemic. The first event, scheduled for 10 February at Hotel Tudanca, will focus on “Pathways to regularisation and employment access for migrant workers” and feature legal expert Susana Cuevas from NGO Burgos Acoge.
The relaunch comes as Spain prepares to open its extraordinary regularisation process in April. Organisers say local SMEs are eager to understand documentation requirements, contract templates and social-security registration steps so they can legally incorporate workers who will soon receive permits.

In practical terms, the programme offers breakfast seminars, one-to-one clinics and a digital toolkit in Spanish and English. HR managers in Castilla y León’s manufacturing and agri-food clusters—sectors with persistent labour shortages—are the primary target audience, but participation is free for any company that preregisters.
Global-mobility teams with operations in the region may find the resource useful for onboarding newly-regularised employees or dependants. The organisers also plan follow-up sessions on cultural-integration practices and diversity management.
