Barcelona Activa launches another edition of Crea Feina Plus, a programme of subsidies of up to 8,000 Euros for companies that incorporate people who are unemployed or at risk of exclusion

Barcelona, 11 May 2023

Fostering the hiring of 300 unemployed people, especially those who have more difficulty entering the labour market. This is the aim of the new edition of Crea Feina Plus, a programme focused on promoting the labour integration of young people, women, over 45 year-olds, people in long-term unemployment or at risk of social exclusion. As of 10th May the period for submitting applications is open.   

Crea Feina Plus offers subsidies of up to 8,000 Euros for each company that hires new staff. With the aim of boosting quality employment in the city, each company will be able to receive a maximum of 10 grants and the subsidies will be awarded based on the following characteristics:

  • 8,000 Euros for hiring people at risk of exclusion with an indefinite contract or not less than six months and full-time. Between 2,000 and 6,000 Euros if it is a part-time job.

  • 6,000 Euros for companies that employ a long-term unemployed person, with an indefinite contract and full-time.

  • 5,000 Euros for each indefinite and full-time contract for young people, people over 45 years old, or women.

 

Barcelona City Council, through Barcelona Activa, will allocate 2 million Euros to the current call for Crea Feina Plus. The programme was created during the pandemic in order to boost the capacity to create new employment and meet the hiring needs of companies. Since it was launched, it has already worked with 869 companies to hire more than 1,200 people, with a budget of 7 million Euros.
