A hiring opportunity that benefits both businesses and people
The DYPA hiring subsidy program offers an important opportunity for businesses in Greece that want to strengthen their workforce while reducing hiring costs. Hiring a new employee is often a strategic decision for any company. It can support growth, increase productivity and help organizations expand their services. At the same time, it offers individuals the opportunity to re-enter the labour market and build a new professional future. To support both businesses and job seekers, the new DYPA hiring subsidy program provides significant financial support for companies that create new job positions. Through this initiative, businesses can receive up to 70% subsidy of wage and non-wage costs, making it easier and more affordable to hire new employees.
