Welcome Note

This space is intended to be an important tool for the dissemination of the activities carried out by the Regional Directorate for Vocational Training and Employment (DRQPE), being accessible to all citizens.

Due to constant technological advances, the DRQPE strategically places at the service of all multiple contents and information of specific interest, but also of more general interest, providing a more comprehensive and clear vision of the competences and mission of this Regional Government service.

The Regional Directorate for Vocational Training and Employment is responsible for assisting the Regional Secretary for Youth, Vocational Training and Employment in the development and pursuance of policies in the areas of employment, labour, training and vocational, monitoring the implementation of the resulting measures.

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.


As such, and besides providing contents and functionalities, we are available to inform, advise and guide all citizens in the scope of our mission.


You are all most welcome!

Applications for RECONVERTER PRO until January 31
The unemployed registered at the Regional Training and Employment Centre will benefit from a new phase of the RECONVERTER PRO measure, created by the XIII Government of the Azores, through the Regional Secretariat for Youth, Vocational Training and Employment, to promote traineeships and retraining in a real work context in the private sector. The application period for the entities promoting the internships runs until January 31, 2024, through the emprego.azores.gov.pt portal. The traineeships will begin within no more than 10 working days following the selection and placement of applicants. Traineeships have a duration of eight months and can be extended by six months if the unemployed person completes 150 hours of certified training in the initial period of the traineeship. Companies providing training are reimbursed the same amount as the Social Security contributions paid. The unemployed will be awarded an allowance amounting to 125% of the Minimum Monthly Wage, in the case of qualifications at or above Level 6 of the National Qualifications Framework (QNQ); 105% of the Minimum Monthly Wage, for qualifications at Levels 4 and 5; and 100% of the Minimum Monthly Wage, in the case of unemployed with qualifications at or below Level 3 of the National Qualifications Framework.
