(b) the integration CC, which has as its main operational purpose the social mission through the employment of a minimum of ten percent (10%) as a workforce of persons with disabilities and a minimum of thirty percent (30%) as a workforce of persons belonging to vulnerable groups (Annex to the Law).
Information and application forms are posted on the website of the Agency.
It should also be noted that the Co-operative Societies Agency and other government agencies are promoting incentives to support businesses that register on the Social Enterprise Register.
