PSOE leader Pedro Sanchez has opened up a new front for campaigning: vocational reform.

"Ours is a nation that has been plagued by the highest unemployment of any developed country on the planet!" Senior Sanchez announced at a rally in Cordoba, "And it is not, as our government thinks, because of some sort of lack of investor confidence - no. IT IS BECAUSE OUR GOVERNMENT IS NOT PROVIDING US WITH THE TOOLS NECESSARY FOR EMPLOYMENT IN THE MODERN WORLD!" Senior Sanchez continued to outline his plan to launch a new series of reforms targetting the nation's historically problematic structural unemployment (Unemployment caused by a skill mismatch between available labor and available jobs.)

The PSOE's plan is as such:

• Introduce a massive overhaul of Spain's vocational education programs by providing easier and more affordable entries, as well as creating programs to encourage Spanish youth participation in vocational as well as academic schooling. (This was partially achieved with the recent PP Labor Reform Bill as a compromise between the PP and PSOE.)

• Improve or add in new business management classes in Spanish schooling, accompanied by the creation of a student run Virtual Business competition as seen in the United States to improve young future entrepreneurs' skills and introduce them further into the world of management.

• Repeal flexible labor market laws to ensure contract and job security for employees and creating stronger desire in potential employees to remain in Spain and work longer.

• Create new government programs to help employ Spanish university graduate and encourage their remaining in the country to prevent what is already becoming a potential brain drain as high-skilled labor is disappearing in the country.

• Encourage new research institutes to further encourage high-skill STEM field labor, as well as create stronger national endowments for arts and programs to encourage cultural development to maintain liberal arts students.

• Re-purpose portions of the government's current debt reduction budget allotment to help fund the above programs, as well as introduce new programs to encourage and ease the creation of new businesses within Spain and foment the regrowth of the middle class.

As the campaigns progress, many local news and political observer groups have noted a growing increase in support for the PSOE in previously conservative areas in Central Spain.
