Portugal Launches Youth Defense Volunteer Program
A proposal within a labor package suggests companies can hire workers on fixed-term contracts if the worker is seeking their first job. The source noted that nine months after December 11, nothing has changed regarding labor unions and confederations, or between CGTP and CIC. Two political parties will present a proposal on Tuesday for a new volunteer program named Defender Portugal. The program targets youths aged 18 to 23 and includes a boarding component lasting between six and 13 weeks. Participants are expected to receive a single payment of 439 euros and may have the option to secure housing. The initiative aims to attract younger citizens to the Portuguese Armed Forces. The 'Defender Portugal' program aims to provide civic, physical, and military training to young citizens. The initiative seeks to strengthen the connection between civil society and national defense.

“Relativamente à preocupação do governo, que diz que este pacote laboral é para acolher a juventude, uma das propostas que lá está é que as empresas possam contratar a prazo o trabalhador. É motivo justificativo para as empresas contratar a prazo um trabalhador, desde que esse trabalhador esteja à procura do primeiro emprego.”
“A proposta dos dois partidos vai ser apresentada esta terça-feira e prevê que o programa tenha a duração de 13 a 6 semanas, uma parte a cumprir em regime de internato.”
