Following the pandemic, remote work, what we call (but the British don’t) smart working, has established itself as a preferential modality for some types of professions. The McKinsey company has estimated that more than 20% of the workforce in developed countries will continue to work away from the office three to five days a week. Breaking the bond of physical presence implies being able to work, when the company allows it, even from places that offer a better quality of life (as we have told you here) and perhaps, why not, in places normally identified as holiday destinations.
Here, the Canaries they are one of them and have just announced a precious opportunity for a lucky teleworker. The campaign “The best climate in the world seeks a remote worker”, in fact, is up for grabs six months of free stay to work remotely from the Spanish archipelago, which also takes care of the travel expenses and those for accessing the services of co-living e co-working.
The selections have just opened and there is time until June 9th to apply. How? The process is pretty streamlined: you just need to share on your social networks a video presentation in English or Spanish in which to answer just one question: what do you do and what benefit would you get by working from the Canary Islands? Attention, however, some precautions are necessary that you find described in the gallery at the beginning of the article.
In short, the Spanish archipelago, interested in increasing the presence of remote workers, invites you to reflect on the opportunities of a period of work far from our cities and in ways that resemble those of digital nomadism (for some practical advice, you can read this article ).
The June 30th the name of the winner of this dream prize will be announced, chosen by a jury made up of remote working experts and professionals in the tourism marketing sector.
The project is also interesting because it creates the conditions for networking on the islands for all those who will apply; in fact, exclusive access to the “Remote Talent Directory” is envisaged, a tool that puts people in contact freelance O smart worker with professionals and companies of the Canary Islands to develop remote collaborations.
ON AN ISLAND, BUT NOT ISOLATED
The Canaries have a geographically remote position (they are in the Atlantic, off the north-west coast of Africa), yet, especially in Tenerife and Gran Canaria, they have a high level of services for those who want to work there for some time.
It is no coincidence that since 2020 they have seen a monthly increase of 10% in the arrivals of remote workers, which today amount to approximately 8,000 professionals, coming mainly from Germany, France and the Netherlands, all countries that for some time (for tourism purposes) have understood the advantages of the mild climate of these islands throughout the year.
The island government has therefore decided to invest in this phenomenon: a half million euro plan is envisaged to attract 30 thousand workers over the next five years.
And if you are afraid of being disconnected, you can rest assured: the connectivity of the island is very high and the broadband here exceeds the European average.
