Order 31/2014: Aids addressed to the Internationalisation of the Extremadura Economic Activity

Financed by Regional Funds and European Social Funds (ESF), the Order 31/2014 is a Call for grants to hire foreign trade technicians for a period of 3 years minimum, taking into account the following specific conditions:
a) The recruitment will respond to clearly defined objectives and to an internationalisation plan to be developed by the company.
b) The technician must have higher education (bachelor’s degree) or higher vocational qualification in foreign trade and/or a minimum experience in that field of 6 months. He/ she must also prove knowledge of a foreign language (mother tongue or accredited with a B2 CEFR -Common European Framework of Reference for Languages- certificate or equivalent).
c) It will be an employment contract, full-time, for a minimum period of 3 years. In case the contract is rescinded, the beneficiary can still receive the aid to recruit another technician in replacement. In that case, the beneficiary must fill the vacancy within 3 months since the date the first contract is cancelled.
This aid is a 30.000€ direct grant to be paid in three years (15.000, 10.000 and 5.000 respectively) for the first, second and third year of contract. This aid is only one per beneficiary.
The Order starts with the publication of the Call and usually ends a year after or when the assigned credit finishes.
