The MerkaLan VII Job and Training Fair, organized by Lanbide-Basque Employment Service, will be held in Bilbao from November 17-19 in both virtual and in-person formats.

MerkaLan is the annual Job and Training Fair organized by Lanbide-Basque Employment Service. It serves as a meeting point for companies, institutions, entities, and citizens, aiming to promote quality employment and specialized training.
The fair will feature two modalities: virtual (November 17-19) and in-person (November 18). In both, companies, training centers, and institutions will offer hundreds of job and training opportunities for a wide range of individuals.
The in-person event will take place at the Convention Center of the Bilbao Exhibition Centre (BEC) and will include over 110 stands, talks, workshops, and numerous other activities.
In this seventh edition, MerkaLan and the 9th Employment Congress, organized by the Department of Economy, Labor, and Employment, will converge around the themes of employment and artificial intelligence (AI).
