The Ministry of Labor, in addition to the modernization of OAED, is also considering the upgrade of the training and retraining system, with basic principles of quality, the evaluation and certification of both training providers and trainees.

Unemployment benefit
The draft law that will be submitted to the Parliament will provide for the adoption of a new system of unemployment benefits through modernized training programs., in a first phase pilot from 2022, in line with the reforms promoted by the national Recovery Plan.
Unemployment benefit payment will gradually be linked to new training programs and active job search as an obligation for the unemployed as an incentive to re-enter the labor market as soon as possible, having acquired additional supplies. In the context of the changes that will take place, it is expected that there will be a clear condition that the unemployed if they apply for unemployment benefit, should be immediately available for training.
In this way, the unemployed will not just receive an allowance for up to 12 months and more will not be satisfied until the payment is completed, but they will be motivated to return to the labor market.
Alongside, is considered to be given an increased amount of allowance - possibly closer to the unemployed person's salary - in the first period after dismissal, which may gradually decrease over the months, but without falling below their current limit 400 euros per month.
Specifically someone who was fired with a salary 800 is being considered for unemployment benefit in the first month 700 euro, in the second month 600 euro, in the third month 500 euros and in the fourth month 400 euro which will be given for the coming months until the completion of the unemployment subsidy.

It is estimated that the new process will create a safe path that will give access to quality training programs that can be used effectively by those who lose their jobs., so that they can quickly reintegrate into the labor market.
Today the unemployment benefit is granted after the dismissal for 5 – 12 months, depending on the working days completed by the beneficiaries. Those who have from 250 working days and over 14 months before dismissal (deducted from 2 recent months) they receive 12 months subsidy.

2. Intermediate digital skills in sales, marketing, customer management etc.. in matters of data analysis, digital marketing, programming, network support, digital design, etc.. The actions will be aimed at employees in the private sector, especially those at high risk of unemployment and SME workers, as well as to public sector employees in jobs that require intermediate skills, including teachers who use digital learning tools in their classrooms.
