New application phase opens for tailor-made training for employed and unemployed
The Regional Government will, again open, a new phase of applications for tailor-made sectoral training initiatives under the QUALIFICA.IN measure, through which vocational schools, as promoting organisations, are awarded financial support up to a maximum of 24 thousand Euros for each training course for employed and unemployed people. Applications from vocational schools for this measure created under the Recovery and Resilience Plan for the Region are open until April 30. They must be submitted using the electronic form available on the CERTIFICAR platform - certificar.azores.gov.pt, informs the Regional Secretariat for Youth, Housing and Employment. Each training course must be aimed at employed and/or unemployed people aged 18 or over, with the unemployed receiving a training grant of up to the maximum monthly value of the Social Support Index (IAS). Each training course must last up to 600 hours and be structured in a training model tailored to the needs of companies or modular training (National Qualifications Catalogue) in an in-person or distance format (e-learning and b-learning). In addition, each training course may include training hours in a real work context. The Regional Secretary for Youth, Housing and Employment explained that the QUALIFICA.IN measure is an "opportunity for companies, employers and vocational schools in the Azores to jointly identify training needs in different activity sectors and design training tailored to these current and emerging needs." "Training is the most important active employment measure," Maria João Carreiro defended, emphasising that "vocational training and retraining are crucial for employed and the unemployed people to build new professional prospects, including in the companies where they are already integrated, and for companies to boost their productivity. The training actions approved in this phase must begin and end between May 1, 2025, and May 31, 2026, according to the Notice published on the Recuperar Portugal platform.

The registration period for the Digital Ideation Programme as part of the university edition of the Entrepreneurial Academy - School of Leaders is open until April 7. Applications for this programme, promoted by the Regional Secretariat for Youth, Housing and Employment, through the Regional Directorate for Youth, are free and must be completed digitally through the Youth Portal, available at juventude.azores.gov.pt. Young people born or with tax residency in the Azores, enrolled in a Portuguese or foreign higher education institution and aged 28 or under can participate in this entrepreneurship education programme in a school context. The Digital Ideation Programme takes place in a 100% online bootcamp format from April 9 to May 7 after working hours. It will cover thematic modules such as "Design Thinking - ideas generator," "Key Resources - the importance of the team," "Financial Plan - the finances of a start-up," "Business Model - Producing the MVP," "Power of Marketing - How to pitch." The final Pitch will determine the best projects that will take part in i9-Açores - the Regional Competition for Innovative Ideas, which takes place from May 19 to 22 in Praia da Vitória, Terceira Island. The Entrepreneurial Academy - School of Leaders promotes skills through a learning-by-doing methodology with educational programmes adapted to each level of education. The university edition is an opportunity to help train young university students with differentiating skills, think about ways to maximise the Region's resources and wealth, speed up the connection between young students and the business and professional world, and encourage business creation and self-employment. The university edition of the Entrepreneurial Academy - School of Leaders, covering all levels of education, including vocational education and projects developed by Private Social Solidarity Institutions (IPSS), has already mobilised more than 60 young people in the two previous editions. In 2023 and 2024, 18 participants presented business ideas and 9 teams participated in the i9.Açores competition.
