The labour market reform and the new learning contract

the last proposal?

Abstract

Training contracts are a key tool of any labour market as they provide the necessary professional skills, both theoretical and practical or practical, to those who are joining the workforce for the first time or to those who need to be requalified, in both cases, to be adapted to the markets’ needs. This relevance is especially significant in a context such as the current one, marked by digitization, in which the need to cover certain types of training profiles is joined by a greater speed in technological changes and, consequently, in the knowledge necessary to support it.

In this particular context, the 2021 Labor Reform has proceeded to redesign the regulation of training contracts in an attempt not only to bring them even closer to the reality of companies in a context of disruptive change, but recovering some lost rights. This paper succinctly addresses the main changes and
wonders whether, unlike previous reforms, this will be enough to promote its use by our business.
