Program: Strengthening the Self-employment of Higher Education Graduates

The programme Supporting the Self-employment of Higher Education Graduates concerns the support of higher education graduates, either unemployed or self-employed, to start a professional activity related to their specialisation in a self-employed professional area.

An independent business space is defined as a space that is a separate property, has its own utilities (e.g. electricity) and is not used in any way as a residence (main or secondary).

Who it concerns

The programme concerns the support of the unemployed to start exercising a professional activity related to their specialty as well as self-employed persons who are already engaged in a professional activity related to their specialty. A prerequisite for their strengthening is the organization of their activity in independent professional spaces.

Specifically, the program is addressed to:

  • Unemployed graduates of higher education, registered in the unemployment registers of the OAED.
  • Natural persons who are graduates of higher education who, on the date of publication of the Call, are engaged in a professional activity related to their specialty and do not have an employment relationship, nor do they receive an old-age pension.

Partnerships between beneficiaries: The establishment of cooperating schemes/forms of enterprise, small and micro, in which partners/beneficiaries from the above categories of beneficiaries will participate, is allowed.
