Employment promotion! Six major youth employment subsidies have been launched

        New coronavirus pneumonia (covid-19) has greatly impacted the job market. In the first half of the year, many companies took unpaid leave and even had to lay off staff to reduce personnel expenses. Fortunately, the graduation season coincides with the slowing down of the epidemic. In order to encourage young people to actively seek jobs and stabilize employment, and at the same time reward employers for employing unemployed workers, the government launched six major employment subsidies in mid June, hoping to activate the long-standing low employment market.

        To encourage young people to seek jobs and stabilize their employment

If the above conditions are met, an employment award of NT $20000 (the same below) will be issued on 90 days, and an additional 10000 yuan will be issued on 180 days, with a total of up to 30000 yuan.

        2. Employment awards for specific industries

        Qualifications: young people under 29 years old, working in specific manufacturing industry, care service industry and construction industry (such as textile industry, steel industry, casting industry and other high-risk industries).

A total of $138000 can be obtained by combining the first "youth employment Award".

        Subsidy method: to reward new employees who lack work experience, senior employees act as career mentors to provide practical workplace training. Job training fees of training units are differentiated by the entry salary of young people. If the monthly salary of trainees is more than 30000 yuan, the training period is limited to nine months, and the maximum subsidy is 108000 yuan.

        2. Employment Award Scheme

        In addition to the youth employment flagship project, a maximum subsidy of $80000 can be provided for each young person employed. However, the scheme will depend on the employment status of young people and has not yet been launched.
