About the programme

Employers who hire NEET young people on an open-ended contract receive 2,250 lei a month for 12 months, counted from the signing of the agreement, for each person hired in this category. They must keep the employment relationship for at least 18 months after hiring. The legal basis is Article 85(1) of Law no. 76/2002. A NEET young person is someone aged 16 up to the day they turn 30 who has no job, is not in education and is not in training. The measure has no sessions with a deadline: the conditions for applying are on the official ANOFM page and at the county employment agency. ANOFM also has other measures for young people (apprenticeships, start-up incentives, mobility bonuses), listed on its site.

What do these words mean?

Eligible

Eligible means you meet the programme's conditions. An eligible expense is one the programme can actually pay for; an ineligible one you pay yourself, even if the project is approved.

Applicant and beneficiary

The applicant is the one who asks for the funding. They become a beneficiary only after the request is approved and they sign the funding contract or decision.

Application session (call)

The period when the institution takes requests. Once it closes you can no longer apply, and sometimes the funds run out before the last day. A programme may have several sessions a year or only one.

Applicant's guide

The official document with all the rules: who can apply, which expenses count, which papers you need and how scoring works. If anything differs from what FonduRO says, the guide is what counts.

Non-refundable grant

Money you do not have to pay back if you follow the programme's conditions. It usually covers only part of the costs, and you put in the rest.
