Ordinance no. 293/2022, of December 12, was published, amending for the third time the Ordinance on the ATIVAR.PT internships measure (better known as "IEFP Internships"), which consists in supporting the integration of young people in the labour market or the professional reorientation of the unemployed.

Overall, this amendment aims to adapt the internships managed and assigned by the Institute of Employment and Vocational Training (IEFP), to the current context of greater competition for the most qualified talent by companies, thus adapting matters such as the anticipation of the completion of the internship, recipients and IEFP’s financial contribution.
