ENAIRE announces subsidies for labour integration and job creation for people with disabilities

For the second year running, ENAIRE has announced subsidies (published in the Official State Gazette on 29 April) to help promote the employability and labour integration of people with disabilities.

The subsidy announcement is directed to foundations and associations of public interest whose social purpose includes vocational training, job placement or the creation of jobs for people with disabilities, and that present a project aimed at developing labour insertion and job creation activities that allow these individuals to be integrated into the labour market.

The subsidies will be awarded in keeping with the principles of openness, transparency, objectivity, equality and non-discrimination through a competitive tendering procedure and taking into account the assessment criteria laid out in Order FOM/926/2019 of 26 July, published in the Official State Gazette on 9 September 2019.

In addition to other information, applicants will be required to provide a detailed description of the project proposed for the subsidy that includes the technical aspects, activities to be carried out, objectives, feasibility, dissemination plan, innovative elements, project budget, etc.

The grants will be financed from ENAIRE's general budget, and top out at 690,228.76 euros. The maximum amount that may be awarded to each beneficiary individually will be 100,000 euros. Under no circumstances can the award exceed the cost of the activity presented, nor the total amount of aids awarded to a single undertaking, as laid out in Commission Regulation (EU) No 1407/2013 of 18 December 2013.

The deadline for submitting applications is one month, starting from the day following the publication in the Official State Gazette of the subsidy announcement.

Foundations and associations of public interest that wish to obtain the subsidies must request them through ENAIRE's Electronic Office, which is available at enaire.sede.gob.es.
