Therefore, the mission of the Regional Directorate for Vocational Training and Employment is focused on finding effective solutions to the challenges of qualifying human resources and promoting the employability of Azoreans. This is reflected in the increased competitiveness of our companies and, thus, contributes to the economic and social development of the Azores.

In this regard, the governmental action for vocational training and employment in the Azores should continue to focus on the monitoring of the unemployed, the promotion of vocational training and qualification of human resources, and the promotion of employment and labour stability. Furthermore, it should also focus on the social dialogue and on raising the awareness of social partners for the need to promote collective bargaining. In the pursuit of this mission, this department relies on funding from the Regional Budget, state transfers and Community funds, under the European Social Fund (ESF), the main financial instrument of the European Union (EU) for investment in people.
