New grant to promote hiring

6 September 2023

A new call for applications for the “TU+1” program is now open, a grant intended for the indefinite hiring of a worker by self-employed individuals with no employees under their charge. This grant has a dual objective: to support smaller businesses and professional projects and, furthermore, to promote the indefinite hiring of unemployed individuals.

Who can benefit?

  • Self-employed workers
  • Single-member limited companies that have no employees at the time of application or during the previous six months

Amount and application

The grant amount is €19,745 to finance the hiring of an unemployed person on a full-time basis. In the event that the hiring is part-time, the grant amount will be proportional. The minimum duration of the contract to receive the grant must be 18 months. The grant can be requested until September 28 at 3:00 PM. For more information and assistance with the application process, send us an email at info@autoocupacio.org or call us at 93 490 88 60.
