Job creation must facilitate and be articulated with the implementation of LAG's local development strategies

Vicentina – Association for the Development of the Southwest opens notices to applications for the Support System for Employment and Entrepreneurship + CO3SO Emprego, in the three LAGs, Adere 2020, Silves Cidade 2020 and Lagos Cidade 2020, promoted by the Association.

"The challenge is great: job creation must facilitate and be articulated with the execution of the LAG's local development strategies, that is, this is one of the main objectives, which must be respected in the elaboration of the projects", they stress those responsible for the development association.

There are three types of incentive system, + CO3SO Employment Inland, + CO3SO Urban Employment and + CO3SO Employment Social Entrepreneurship.

These three measures bring together an endowment in the amount of 2.008.247 euros, for beneficiaries to create jobs, a creation that is fully co-funded, excluding holiday and Christmas subsidies. There is also an amount of 40% to finance other costs associated with the jobs created.

The objective is clear: to support employment and entrepreneurship, by supporting the creation of their own employment and jobs for micro and small businesses, without forgetting the social entrepreneurship component, to support employment in the social sector.

All sectors are covered, with the exception of agriculture and forestry, fisheries and aquaculture, as well as the processing and marketing of agricultural products.

The deadline for submitting applications is phased in, with the 1st phase closing on 15th September and 2nd to 16th November.
