The budget extension will accommodate the expected rise in applications from special employment centres

The subsidy partially covers wage costs, workplace adaptation, and the removal of architectural barriers

The Consell de Govern has authorised, at the proposal of the Ministry of Business, Employment and Energy, an investment of €1.3 million to increase the total funding for the 2025 aid program aimed at maintaining jobs for people with disabilities in special employment centres. This brings the overall budget to €11.8 million, allowing for partial financing of wage costs, workplace adaptations, and the removal of architectural barriers.

The Balearic Government Increases Funding to €11.8 Million to Support Employment for People with Disabilities

The original budget for this aid program was €10.5 million, and with this increase, the government will be able to meet the anticipated rise in applications. The additional funding will be allocated as follows:

• Under Program I, which targets special employment centres of high social necessity,
  • €55,000 will go toward partially covering wage costs for workers with severe disabilities.
  • An additional €50,000 will support wage costs for workers with disabilities in general.
• Under Program II, covering all other special employment centres,
  • €290,000 will be allocated to partially cover wage costs for employees with severe disabilities.
  • €805,000 will go toward the wage costs of employees with disabilities working in other registered special employment centres.

These grants are awarded directly, due to public and social interest, given the specific needs of the beneficiaries. Therefore, maintaining employment in officially registered special employment centres is considered a matter of public concern.

The funds for this call are financed with national resources through the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), part of the European Union’s post-pandemic recovery strategy.
