Division of responsabilities: Spain and its Autonomous regions
12
Division of responsabilities The central government sets the general strategies to follow in the "Spanish Employment Strategy “ and more concretely in its “Annual Plan of Employment policies ". Each autonomous region is responsible for managing active labour market policies (programs and services aimed at the direct care of the job seekers). In this collaborative framework between the central government and communities, Autonomous regions may choose to perform employment measures according to state regulations, the region itself or a combination of both. The Ministry of Education is responsible for the general framework of education policies and each autonomous region has the power to set them. 13
Devision of responsabilities El gobierno central marca las estrategias generales a seguir que emanan de la «Estrategia Española de Empleo» que a su vez, se concreta en un «plan anual de políticas de empleo» . Cada comunidad autónoma se encarga de gestionar las políticas activas de empleo (programas y servicios orientados a la atención directa de las personas demandantes de empleo). En este marco de colaboración entre el gobierno central y las comunidades se podrá optar por realizar medidas de empleo según la normativa estatal, la propia de la comunidad o bien una combinación de ambas. El Ministerio de Educación es el responsable de las políticas en materia educativa, al igual que ocurre en el ámbito laboral, cada comunidad tiene la potestad de adaptar la normativa. 14
Devision of responsabilities Evolución Histórica del proceso de transferencia de competencias en materia de formación y empleo 1992 Se inicia el proceso de transferencia desde el INEM a las Comunidades Autónomas en materia de gestión del Plan FIP (en la actualidad, Formación Profesional para el Empleo). 1997 Se inicia el proceso de traspaso de la gestión de las políticas activas de empleo a las Comunidades Autónomas. 2003 Se constituye el Servicio Público de Empleo Estatal que junto a los Servicios Públicos de Empleo de las Comunidades Autónomas conforman el Sistema Nacional de Empleo (SNE). El INEM desaparece. Source: http://www.sepe.es/contenido/conocenos/medios/Dossier_informativo.pdf
