The Regional Employment and Training Service (SEF) has just launched a new version of its application for mobile devices that, in addition to providing more functionality and agility of use, introduces a specific section with useful information for freelancers.

Now people who are considering accessing or returning to the labor market on their own can know the programs and grants that the SEF allocates to the new self-employed and that range from training projects for entrepreneurs to the 'Zero Fee' for young people beneficiaries of Youth Guarantee or long-term unemployed.

This new version of 'SEF mobile' comes just three months after the last update that simplified many of the procedures that can be carried out through it, such as seeking job offers or training courses from the expansion of the fields of search. The system is now improving again, since it adjusts the search filters even more, so that the user can locate in a more precise way the training actions or the jobs that most interest him.

It also improves the notification service, which can now be customized by indicating which topics you want to receive notice about. In addition, this new version of 'SEF mobile' gives the possibility to consult at any time the date on which corresponds to renew the demand for employment, an option that many users had requested.

Likewise, the other procedures that can be carried out through 'SEF mobil', such as the renewal of the demand for employment or the appointment request in an office, also gain in agility, as technical improvements have been introduced in the new version.

The general secretary of the Ministry of Employment, Universities, Business and Environment, Pilar Valero, said that "making this tool more and more intuitive and accessible to users has always been the goal of the SEF since it submitted this application in December of 2016, so we will continue to improve the service with regular updates."
