One-off
The Youth Guarantee is the state system of support for people aged 16–29 who are neither studying nor working. Registration is free and afterwards you are offered courses, job-search guidance, traineeships, mobility programmes in Europe and vacancies. It also opens access to regional youth programmes, such as the driving-licence aid in Asturias.
You need Spanish, EU/EEA/Swiss nationality (with free movement) or residence and a work permit, registration in Spain, to be over 16 and under 30 and not to have worked or studied on the previous calendar day (the wording on the page is ambiguous). There is no selection and offers are matched to your profile.

Where to go and what to do, step by step
Check the conditions: Spanish, EU/EEA/Swiss nationality (exercising free movement) or a residence permit allowing work; registered residence in Spain; over 16 and under 30.
Make sure that on the previous calendar day you were neither working nor receiving education: while you are in Bachillerato you cannot register, it becomes possible after you finish studies.
Prepare identification: Cl@ve, an electronic certificate or a username and password, an active mobile phone and an email. A DNI or NIE is needed.
Open garantiajuvenil.sepe.es, activate an account and fill in the online form: a statement of interest in taking part and a commitment to participate actively in the actions.
If you have no electronic ID, register at any chamber of commerce: you will need your DNI or NIE.
After registering, watch for offers: courses, job guidance, placements, mobility programmes and jobs; registration is also needed for regional programmes (for example licence aid in Asturias).
Documents and materials to attach to the application.
Example (written by us): Ana finished Bachillerato in summer 2027 and has not started full-time study. In September she registers with Cl@ve at garantiajuvenil.sepe.es, receives an offer for a digital-skills course and keeps her place in the system for regional grants.
An example we wrote to illustrate: it is not an official sample, replace the details with your own.
There is no selection: registration is open to anyone who meets the conditions; offers are matched to your profile.
Registration is free. By your profile you are offered courses, guidance, placements, mobility programmes and jobs, and told about hiring incentives for registered young people. Being registered gives access to regional programmes tied to the Youth Guarantee.
