Changing career is an increasingly common reality. The demands of the labor market evolve, and with them the need to acquire new skills. To support this transformation, the state provides financial support of up to 750 euros that can be decisive for those looking for digital training and open doors to new opportunities.
Check Formation + Digital: An Incentive to the Future
According to the Institute of Employment and Vocational Training (IEFP), workers can apply for the Check-Training + Digital, which guarantees up to 750 euros a year to invest in courses related to the digital world. Payment is made upon completion of training, ensuring that beneficiaries apply the support directly to its requalification.
According to the IEFP, this measure aims to “support and encourage the development of skills and qualifications in the digital domain”, allowing workers from different areas to prepare for the challenges of the technological transition that affects all sectors of activity.
Who can apply?
The check is not only intended for those in a company. Among the beneficiaries are:
- Workers due to others;
- Independent workers;
- Entrepreneurs in the individual name;
- Members of unipessical societies by quotas;
- Workers in public functions.
In practice, any active person can compete, regardless of the work bond. The goal is to give tools to those who fear losing space in the job market or wants to gain new skills to look for other professional paths.
How much is the support worth?
IEFP clarifies that the maximum value assigned is 750 euros per candidate per year. Each application covers only one training action, but may include multiple modules as long as they are framed in the digital area.
In addition, training can be face-to-face, mixed or totally online, provided it is taught by a formative entity certified by the Directorate-General for Employment and Labor Relations (DGERT).
Deadlines and applications
Applications are open until the end of 2025 and can be submitted through the IEFP portal. Support applies to courses started since September 2022, but it is necessary to complete the training action by December 31, 2025.
It reinforces that each new candidacy always depends on the conclusion of the previous one. That is, to again ask for the support, it is necessary to finish the course already financed.
A step to reinventing your career
The + digital check emerges as an opportunity to gain valued skills, especially at a time when traditional professions reinvent themselves with technology. For those looking for a new professional course, this may be the opportunity to update the curriculum, explore new areas and ensure greater safety in the future.
