DYPA: 27,494 subsidised jobs for unemployed people aged 30 and over
Businesses can prepare their application from 13:00 on 10 November. Formal submission opens on 24 November.
DYPA announced a scheme to recruit 27,494 unemployed people aged 30 and over, with higher subsidies for women and men aged 50 and over. The subsidy runs for 12 months and is paid to the hiring business.
The optional preparation stage opens in Greece’s State Aid Information System (OPSKE) at 13:00 on Tuesday 10 November, Athens time. Businesses can fill in fields, attach documents and save a draft. Saving a draft does not submit the application.
From 24 November until the budget is exhausted, businesses can submit a prepared draft or create and submit a new application. Unemployed applicants do not file the business’s funding application themselves.
How much the subsidy covers
For men aged 30–49, the subsidy is €656.50 a month, up to €7,878 over 12 months. For women aged 30 and over and men aged 50 and over, it is €984.75 a month, up to €11,817 over 12 months. These figures are employer subsidies; they do not state the worker’s take-home pay. DYPA’s public call sets out the required documents and assessment criteria.
