When is the Uruguay Impulsa 2026 draw and how to check the list of selected people

Uruguay Impulsa, a government initiative coordinated with local authorities to provide temporary work and job training, conducted the lottery for its second edition on Monday, June 22, 2026. The program, formerly called 'Jornales Solidarios,' aims to create employment opportunities for thousands of Uruguayans nationwide.

This edition of Uruguay Impulsa offers 5,524 positions, with participants set to work and train between July and October in 268 different locations across the country. Notably, this year's program includes a special quota for individuals experiencing homelessness and those who have been released from the prison system.

The initiative is a collaborative effort involving several state agencies, including the Planning and Budget Office (OPP), the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare (MTSS), the Ministry of Social Development (Mides), the Congress of Intendants, the National Institute for Employment and Vocational Training (Inefop), and the Directorate General of Technical and Professional Education (UTU).

Rodrigo Arim, director of the OPP, highlighted the program's role as an "active policy of protected employment" to which the government is committed to continuous improvement. Mariana Chiquiar, deputy national director of Employment, reported that 136,822 people initially registered, with 121,798 ultimately qualifying for the draw. Selected participants will engage in work and training activities throughout the summer months.
