Employer support - Incentives

Employer support comprises a set of measures that grant financial support to companies that create stable jobs or that provide on-the-job training.

Contrato-Emprego

"Contrato-Emprego" is a measure backed by Portugal 2020 that provides grants for employers that create permanent or fixed-term jobs (employment contracts of at least 12 months) for unemployed citizens registered at the national employment service ("IEFP"). Employers are required to provide training to staff that benefits from "Contrato-Emprego" support.
