Apprenticeship Hiring Incentives: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Salon owners in Italy can receive financial relief and lower social security costs when hiring and training young new stylists.

This scheme provides financial relief to business owners who hire young people through apprenticeship contracts to help train them in a specific trade. It is designed to support the transition of young workers into the professional workforce through structured learning.

Who it's for

This program is specifically intended for salon owners who are looking to expand their team by hiring young staff members. To qualify, the new employees must fall within the age range of 15 to 29 years old. This helps businesses build a pipeline of new talent while providing young workers with essential hands-on experience.

What you get

When you hire a new stylist under these terms, you receive financial relief intended to offset the costs of bringing someone new onto your team. This support is specifically aimed at easing the financial burden that comes with the process of training a new professional in your salon.

What it costs you

There is no upfront fee required to access these incentives. Instead, the benefit is realized through a reduction in the social security contributions that you, as the employer, are required to pay. This makes the overall cost of employment more manageable for your business operations.

The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is that this is not a simple hiring bonus; it is tied to education. You must meet strict training plan requirements. This means you are required to follow a formal plan that outlines how the young worker will learn the necessary skills for the role.

How to apply

  1. Verify that your prospective new hire is between the ages of 15 and 29.
  2. Create a formal training plan that meets all the necessary regulatory standards.
  3. Establish the specific apprenticeship contract required for this scheme.
  4. Consult the official portal for the necessary submission steps and current details.
