10 fixed positions at the Ministry of Youth 2026: groups M1 and E2, deadlines and how to apply

Key data

The Ministry of Youth and Childhood launches a selection process that covers 10 fixed labor positions in two differentiated professional groups. The convocation, published in the BOE on July 10, 2026 through the Resolution of July 7, 2026 from the Under-Secretary, is framed within the Public Employment Offers of 2023 and 2024 and applies the IV Single Collective Agreement for labor personnel of the General State Administration.

The process combines the general open access system and internal promotion, and reserves positions for people with disabilities, in compliance with principles of gender equality and access to public employment.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution convenes a selection process for admission as fixed labor personnel in the General State Administration, subject to the IV Single Collective Agreement. The positions are distributed in two professional groups with distinct characteristics:

Key procedural aspects established by the resolution:

• The application must be submitted mandatory via electronic means using form 790. Paper applications are not accepted.
• The submission deadline is 20 business days counted from the day following publication in the BOE (July 10, 2026).
• Positions are reserved for people with disabilities, in accordance with current regulations on access to public employment.
• The complete bases of the convocation are published on the website of the Ministry of Youth and Childhood and on the administracion.gob.es portal.
• The convocation respects gender equality principles in access to public employment.

Economic and operational impact

For candidates, the relevance is clear: these are positions of fixed nature, which implies full employment stability under the IV Single Collective Agreement of the AGE. This agreement regulates remuneration conditions, working hours, and rights of labor personnel in the General State Administration.

From an operational perspective, the most relevant aspects are:

• Non-extendable deadline: the 20 business days are the only available margin. After that deadline, late applications are not accepted.
• 100% digital processing: it is essential to have a digital certificate or electronic ID to complete and send form 790.
• Dual access route in E2: the E2 group allows both open access and internal promotion, expanding the universe of potential candidates.
• M1 restricted to internal promotion: the only M1 group position (Production of audiovisuals and entertainment) is reserved exclusively for public employees who already belong to the AGE and meet the internal promotion requirements.

Who does it affect?

• Candidates in open competition who wish to access the E2 group (General maintenance) as fixed labor personnel in the AGE.
• Public employees of the AGE who opt for internal promotion, both in the M1 group (Production of audiovisuals and entertainment) and in the E2 group (General maintenance).
• People with disabilities who aspire to the reserved positions within the convocation.
• Advisors and HR managers in General State Administration bodies who must inform their staff about this convocation.
• Academies and exam preparation specialists in AGE labor personnel.

Practical example

A worker currently providing services in a General State Administration body in maintenance tasks and who meets the requirements of the IV Single Collective Agreement for internal promotion to the E2 group can submit their application through form 790 via electronic means within 20 business days from July 10, 2026.

If that same worker wanted to apply for the M1 group position (Production of audiovisuals and entertainment), they should verify that they meet the specific internal promotion requirements for that group, since open access is not enabled for that position. In contrast, an external candidate without prior connection to the AGE can only compete for the 9 E2 group positions in open competition, not the M1 position.

What should candidates do now?

1. Verify the group you can apply for: check if you meet the requirements for the E2 group (open competition or internal promotion) or for the M1 group (internal promotion only), according to your professional profile and connection with the AGE.
2. Consult the complete bases: access the website of the Ministry of Youth and Childhood and the administracion.gob.es portal to review the specific requirements, syllabi, and selection criteria published with the convocation.
3. Obtain or renew your digital certificate: the application is exclusively electronic using form 790, so it is essential to have a valid digital identification means (electronic certificate, electronic ID or Cl@ve).
4. Complete and send form 790 within the 20 business day deadline from July 10, 2026. Do not wait until the last moment to avoid technical issues.
5. Verify the reservation of positions for people with disabilities if applicable, and provide the corresponding supporting documentation at the time indicated by the bases.
6. Keep the proof of submission of the electronic application as evidence of having submitted within the deadline.
