The 2nd edition of La Llançadora, entrepreneurship grants, launches

12 January 2024

This week has seen the launch of the 2nd edition of La Llançadora, entrepreneurship grants. La Llançadora is an innovative project for maturing business ideas through the Occupational Dual vocational training program, subsidized by the Catalan Employment Service. The program’s objective is to help 15 entrepreneurs aged between 18 and 29 who are unemployed to mature their business ideas, test them in the market, and create their companies. Through an employment contract, an in-person training itinerary, a workspace at Autoocupació’s facilities, and guidance and support, young people will develop their entrepreneurial projects throughout this year.

The first edition, a complete success

The first edition of this program took place during 2023 and was a complete success. With a very positive reception, the 12 selected projects were developed throughout the year. Check out the participants of the first edition here.
