regulations and methods of studying and working in Spain

I. regulations of working in Spain

The Spanish government has clear regulations on working for foreign students: students must apply for a student work permit that is legally employed, and they must not go out to work during school hours, and the time should generally not exceed 31 hours/week. At the same time, in order to ensure the legitimate interests of international students, according to the Spanish labor law, even students have to sign an agreement with their employers, and employers have to pay social welfare insurance for international students who work, and pay 94% of the insurance fees, and the remaining 6% will be withheld from the students' wages.

2. Ways of working

(1) Legal employment during college

According to Spanish laws, students studying in language schools are not allowed to go out to work. Some students choose temporary workers who make oral agreements in Chinese restaurants, travel agencies, factories and other places. Generally, they will not be investigated by the government, but once they are found, they will have to bear legal responsibility.

Undergraduate and graduate students use their spare time to work to earn money. Usually, the positions they can choose are:

1. Tutoring.

Students can take advantage of Chinese, Spanish and English to find a part-time job as a tutor. Usually it is to teach Spanish children Chinese, and the salary varies from person to person, about 6-11 euros per hour.

2. Restaurant waiter.

many bars recruit students to take part-time jobs, and the salary in big cities generally fluctuates between 21 and 31 euros every half day, which requires students to have the ability to communicate in Spanish. Although working in a restaurant will be very hard, it is also full of fun. For example, you can learn the production of paella and watch the production technology of Iberian ham.

3. Teachers/teaching assistants in Chinese schools

Being a teacher in a regular Chinese school requires students' language proficiency and has fewer opportunities. However, this is also a decent job, and the salary will be higher than the general type of work.

4. Travel agency guides

There are many travel agencies set up by Chinese in Spain, which specialize in taking tours from China, so many China students will work as part-time tour guides. On the one hand, there is no language barrier to communicate with tourists from China, and on the other hand, they can make use of the advantages of Spanish to connect with local drivers, hotels and restaurants. Chinese tour guides are also one of the easier part-time jobs to find.

5. Cashiers in hundred-dollar stores and grocery stores

A more popular part-time job with a relatively low salary is suitable for students with no work experience.

6. Translation

Part-time translation is suitable for students with high Spanish level. There are many demands for accompanying translators in local large-scale exhibitions and enterprise cooperation, and some companies also provide written translation work. Part-time translation is one of the part-time jobs, and accompanying translation can reach 111 euros a day.

(2) Legal employment during internship

In the last semester of undergraduate and graduate students, the school usually provides students with some internship positions.

Because Spanish universities will sign cooperation agreements with famous local enterprises, and Spanish labor law stipulates that interns do not need to pay social insurance premiums, enterprises will be very happy to accept interns and give priority to students from cooperative universities.

The salary of interns is about 511-711 Euros per month, and they work about 21 hours a week, which will not occupy the class time. The reason why we recommend you to work and study through internship is that internship companies involve a wide range of industries, such as hotels, exhibitions, finance, tourism, etc. Students can choose companies related to their majors to feel the workplace atmosphere in advance. At the same time, it is also a way to combine theoretical knowledge with practice and deepen the understanding of knowledge.

Internship also provides international students with the opportunity to formally take up jobs in Spanish companies. When international students complete their three-year studies, they can apply to the internship company for employment and residence. On the whole, internship is a very cost-effective part-time way, which can not only make money to subsidize living expenses, but also deepen practice and prepare for future career.

III. Sources of Channels

Students who want to work part-time, internship or part-time during their school days can find opportunities through many channels.

1. Online social media and self-media

Most students get information through the Internet, which is efficient and effective.

Spanish authoritative online media include Xihua Forum, Eurowave, etc., as well as various Weibo and WeChat WeChat official account media. They will release and update all kinds of recruitment information in time.

2. Spanish Chinese media

Spanish local Chinese media, such as Hua Xin Bao, Qiao Sheng Bao, China Bao and Lianhe Times, all set up recruitment sections, but the update rate is slower than that of the Internet.

3. Intermediary guarantee and recommendation

Learning agents such as Kunpeng Education Service Center in Spain have signed internship delivery agreements with Complutense University in Madrid, Nebriha University, King Juan Carlos University, Carlos III University and ESIC Business School to recommend jobs for international students in their own channels.

4. Internship programs provided by the school

Excellent universities such as University of Barcelona, Autonomous University of Barcelona and Complutense University of Madrid all provide internship recommendations for outstanding students.

5. Friends or classmates recommend

Many Chinese schools and Spanish training schools recruit part-time teachers, or many Chinese families recruit tutors.

in addition to posting information online, the boss will also encourage existing employees to recommend each other.
