From today to the end of September 19, the call to apply for the Crea Feina program is open. The settings promote the hiring of people residing in the city of Barcelona and corporate or individuals companies can opt, which share, as a minimum, with a work center located in any of the municipalities of the Metropolitan Area. The program, in total, included 2 million euros, and 500,000 in particular for the Crea Feina Investiga line. This aim is to hire 35 people with the title of doctor, in order to progress in the research, and with a minimum salary of 35,000 euros per year.

The subsidy, on the other hand, includes these other two lines:

Crea Feina of Social Economy and Impact: Intended for activities considered key to strengthening the productive sector and with a certain impact (social or environmental). It has a budget of 200,000 euros and plans to hire 15 people with a minimum salary of 35,000 euros per year.

Crea Feina Inclusive Jobs: Focused on promoting the hiring of people in vulnerable situations or long-term unemployment (more than 12 months). It has a budget of 1.3 million euros and aims to generate 185 new jobs.

All in all, it is a program that is part of the Barcelona Impulsa strategy that plans to strengthen and diversify the economy and create 180,000 new jobs with permanent contracts by 2035.

Crea Feina Investiga:

This category, focused on the scientific field, was launched last year and consolidates its program for a new course. It promotes the hiring of scientific research personnel, who must have at least a doctorate. For each job, it plans to pay 12,000 euros for men and 15,000 for women, thus promoting female research, in a field where, in the most prominent positions, there is still a marked gender bias.

This line created 32 new research jobs last year, in sectors and fields as diverse as technology, commerce, the food industry, health, or renewable energies. And it has allowed new projects, research groups and small laboratories to thrive.

Begin the procedure:

Companies that wish to do so must first check that they meet the requirements. The set of information to be considered is centralized within the corresponding website. They must then enter or create a profile in the program application. There, they must complete all the necessary data, fill out the form and create an instance. And then register the application, with a digital certificate, at the Virtual Procedures Office of the City Council.

Companies, in the Investiga line, must guarantee that the contracts made with the Crea Feina grants will last at least 12 months.
