NEET Employment Incentive: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Companies in Italy can receive a financial contribution for hiring young people under 30 through the NEET Employment Incentive.

This scheme provides a financial incentive to companies that hire young people who are currently not in education, employment, or training.

Who it's for

This incentive is designed for companies that hire young workers under the age of 30. To qualify, the employees must be registered in the Youth Guarantee program.

What you get

Companies can receive a financial contribution of up to €6,000 when they hire an eligible young person on a permanent contract.

What it costs you

There is no direct fee to apply, but there is a mandatory administrative requirement: you must verify the individual's NEET status via the official portal before you sign the employment contract.

The catch to know

The budget for this scheme is limited. Funds are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, meaning the incentive may no longer be available once the allocated funds are exhausted.

How to apply

  1. Confirm the candidate is under 30 and registered in the Youth Guarantee program.
  2. Use the official portal to verify the candidate's NEET status.
  3. Proceed with signing the permanent employment contract.
  4. Complete the necessary documentation to claim the contribution.
