They provide guidance and support to companies in the search for and selection of employees, both in regular recruitment and in recruitment programs related to the world of work (First Choice) and on-the-job training (Dual Shift Vocational Training).

All primary school students or graduates can register at IkasEnplegun; It does not matter if you have studied at the Bizkaia Ikaslan network or at another school in the Basque Country.

Moreover, 35% of those registered in the job market are employed, 46% are unemployed and 19% are studying.
