📋 Tender Overview
"There is no urgency to register since the assignment is by lottery. Whoever registers first and last has exactly the same chance of being drawn," he clarified.
In order to register, young people must be between 16 and 20 years old and studying.
In this first edition of the I Study and Work program for the private sector, some 250 scholarships are available so far with durations between six months and one year. The people drawn will complete a work day of 20 hours per week, so that it is compatible with study, since "it is a requirement to continue studying during the duration of the scholarship," said Pérez.
The 250 places correspond to 88 companies from 11 departments and 20 locations in the country, of which 1/3 of them are SMEs, that is, they have less than 20 employees.
Pérez recalled that companies that join the program as contractors will receive a subsidy of up to 80% of the salary of each person hired, with a limit of 15 thousand pesos per month. In the event that the person has a disability, the subsidy amounts to 100% of the salary with the same limit of 15 thousand pesos per month.
"If once the scholarship is completed, the company decides to permanently incorporate that person, employer contributions will be exempt until the young person turns 25 years of age," added the leader.
For his part, the Minister of Social Development, Alejandro Sciarra, said that "this experience and this impulse that I Study and Work takes in the private sector is daring and avant-garde."
