Madrid's 17th Disability Employment Fair — 27–28 October 2026: Employers Offer Direct Interviews to Job Seekers

Summary

The Community of Madrid will host the XVII Feria de Empleo para Personas con Discapacidad on 27–28 October 2026 at La Nave de Madrid (Calle Cifuentes 5, Villaverde). The event is the region's largest dedicated disability recruitment fair, bringing together companies, public entities, and non-profits to offer direct job interviews to candidates with disabilities across all sectors. A pre-event programme, 'Mi Primer Empleo', targeting young people with disabilities takes place on 22 October. The fair comes at a critical moment: Spain's new Ley 4/2026, entering into force on 23 October, strengthens employers' obligations around reasonable accommodations and overhauls the sheltered employment regime. The event reflects growing employer demand in Spain, where 90.6% of people with disabilities cite stable employment as their top priority for 2026, according to a national survey. Registration is free and the venue is fully accessible.
