Apply for vocational training subsidies, employment internship subsidies, and social insurance subsidies during unemployment — don’t pay for training courses out of pocket

失业期间去领职业培训补贴、就业见习补贴和社保补贴,别自费上培训班

Source cost

There is no direct cost. However, the training itself takes up a lot of your time. The real challenge is completing all required classes and earning the necessary certificates before you can receive any subsidies.

Source return

You won’t have to pay for training at all. If you complete a qualifying course and obtain the required certificate, you can receive a vocational training subsidy — up to three times per person. Recent college graduates who haven’t found work within two years, as well as unemployed youth aged 16–24, may also join employment internships and receive basic living allowances during that time. First, check your local Human Resources and Social Security Bureau website for the “List of Eligible Vocational Training Subsidies” — don’t sign up for paid courses on your own.

13. Apply for vocational training subsidies, employment internship subsidies, and social insurance subsidies during unemployment — don’t pay for training courses out of pocket

Cost: There is no direct cost. However, the training itself takes up a lot of your time. The real challenge is completing all required classes and earning the necessary certificates before you can receive any subsidies.

In plain terms: You won’t have to pay for training at all. If you complete a qualifying course and obtain the required certificate, you can receive a vocational training subsidy — up to three times per person. Recent college graduates who haven’t found work within two years, as well as unemployed youth aged 16–24, may also join employment internships and receive basic living allowances during that time. First, check your local Human Resources and Social Security Bureau website for the “List of Eligible Vocational Training Subsidies” — don’t sign up for paid courses on your own.

Benefit: According to regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance and the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, specific funds are allocated specifically to support employment through various subsidy programs. Those who complete approved training and earn the required certificates may receive vocational training subsidies up to three times each. Individuals facing employment difficulties who pay their own social insurance premiums (as self-employed workers) may qualify for subsidies lasting up to three years; those within five years of retirement age may receive them until retirement. Recent graduates may get such subsidies for up to two years, while those hired by employers qualify for one year. Additionally, unemployed youth aged 16–24 and recent graduates without jobs may take part in employment internships and receive basic living allowances.

Notes: Exact subsidy amounts and eligible programs vary by province; always consult the local Human Resources and Social Security Bureau website for the “List of Eligible Vocational Training Subsidies.” Special one-time job-seeking and entrepreneurship subsidies are also available for graduates from dibao-receiving families or zero-employment households, those with outstanding student loans, or individuals with disabilities.

13. 失业期间去领职业培训补贴、就业见习补贴和社保补贴,别自费上培训班

成本: 不花钱。培训本身要占掉你不少时间。难在要连着上完课、考出证书,才拿得到补贴。

说人话: 培训不用自己掏钱。参加培训并拿到规定的证书,就有职业培训补贴,同一个人最多领 3 次。毕业两年内没找到工作的高校毕业生、16 到 24 岁的失业青年,可以参加就业见习,见习期间领基本生活费。先去当地人社局官网查「职业培训补贴目录」,别自费报班。

收益: 财政部、人社部的规章里列了一批就业补助资金项目,就是财政专门拿来补贴就业的那笔钱。参加培训并拿到符合规定的证书,给职业培训补贴,同一个人最多领 3 次。就业困难人员自己交社保(灵活就业)的补贴最长 3 年;离法定退休年龄不到 5 年的,可以延到退休。高校毕业生自己交社保的补贴最长 2 年,被企业招走的最长 1 年。毕业 2 年内没找到工作的高校毕业生,还有 16 至 24 岁的失业青年,可以参加就业见习,见习期间领基本生活费
