Various job vacancies and public competitions have been announced across different regions of Croatia.

In mid-September, local government authorities in municipalities such as Motovun-Montona and Pakrac opened competitions for administrative roles, including a municipal warden and the Head of the Administrative Department for Social Activities and Economy. These positions required specific educational backgrounds, professional exams, and work experience.

By late September, additional employment opportunities were reported in the Baranja region and Virovitica-Podravina County. These vacancies spanned multiple sectors, including education, healthcare, administration, and public procurement in Baranja, as well as construction, engineering, hospitality, and agriculture in Virovitica-Podravina.

In September 2026, the Croatian Employment Service (HZZ) expanded job preservation support to the island of Brač following recent fires. This measure, which was previously applied to the Omiš area, is intended for employers whose premises, equipment, or stocks were damaged or destroyed. The aid provides up to 1,500 euros per month per worker to help maintain jobs until operations can be restored, primarily targeting entrepreneurs in the tourism and catering sectors. To qualify, workers must have been on permanent contracts prior to September 10, 2026. Applications are being accepted online through October 30, 2026.
