Description
A total of 1,760 people have presented themselves to the access tests of the Public Employment Offer that RENFE has called for 2023 with the aim of incorporating 300 new entrants into the manufacturing and maintenance area.
Of the 300 posts to be filled, 270 are for the whole country and 30 for Catalonia. These correspond to different specialties, namely 167 positions related to adjuster-mounter tasks, 75 related to electricity-electronics tasks, 30 to machines-tools tasks and the remaining 8 related to supplies.
In total, RENFE has launched a Public Employment Offer for 2023 that will allow 1,250 workers to join the Renfe workforce: 500 new entry-level commercial operators (see RENFE-2023-ES), 450 entry-level train drivers and 300 entry-level manufacturing and maintenance operators. This announcement comes after several previous public employment offer process (OPE) implemented last year 2022 in November (RENFE-2022-ES) and March (RENFE-2022-ES). All the jobs included in the OPE will have as a reference the working conditions and remuneration established in the collective agreement of the RENFE Group.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
