Valadas António da Silva, President of the Employment and Vocational Training Institute (IEFP), said it would promote an “internal audit” procedures of services. The news, published in the edition of the Sunday newspaper Público, follows the discovery of alleged fraud in internships funded by the Institute, including the extortion of scholarships to trainees who are coerced by the company to receive less than what they would be entitled .
according to the president of the IEFP, the audit objective, which will start “soon”, “is whether [the procedures of the services] are effectively being met and needed to be strengthened” and “identify areas of improvement and aspects, so that we can defend and trainees so that they can be better monitored.”
the case of alleged extortion of scholarships to trainees went public earlier this week. On Monday, the Journal News reported that there are many employers who require trainees that return them part of the salary corresponding to the contribution of the company ordered (from 20% to 35%). The situation will have been denounced by the National Youth Council (CNJ). Contacted by JN, IEFP said he was unaware the practice.
According to the newspaper, the 691 euros that an intern with bachelor receives, there is a part that can reach up to 400 euros, which can end up in hands of the companies that hire them. This is because in addition to the part of the ordained who are coerced to hand, companies still impose them that they are paying the single social tax (23.75%), which is the employer.
In an interview with Público newspaper, published on Sunday, António Valadas da Silva ensures that once was given the warning by CNJ “instructions were given to regional and local services” in order to be strengthened monitoring trainees and drew attention to the need to distinguish different cases to avoid generalizations. “We can not condemn an extremely useful tool for enabling especially young people, which opens the door for them to a job.”
