Companies in Romania hiring apprentices get EUR 245 a month

Companies in Romania that hire apprentices will be reimbursed RON 1,125 (EUR 245) per month for each person for the whole training period, according to a Government amendment from yesterday. The apprenticeship contract can last 1, 2 or 3 years, depending on the qualification level. The money will be used to pay the apprentices. At the end of this training period, trainees will also get a certificate. Money for this project come from EU funds as well as national public funds from the unemployment budget. The Government first approved a draft law on this project at the end of March. The current bill brings some amendments to the training period. editor@romania-insider.com
