The Fundación Estatal para la Formación en el Empleo (Fundae) is a Spanish public sector entity whose mission is to promote and finance the education and training of people for work, and to update their skills throughout their professional life.

All salaried workers or groups of workers in Spain who are eligible for Fundae subsidies:

• Work for a company, are on the payroll and have an indefinite contract
• Are not employees of the public administration
• Contribute to Social Security for vocational training

The Fundae grant is available to all Spanish companies that:

• Are domiciled for tax purposes in the national territory
• Contribution for vocational training contingency for their employees
• They are up to date with their payments to the Social Security Treasury and Tax Authorities.

The Fundae subsidy means that a training can be subsidized up to 100% of its totality. This is thanks to a credit that Fundae grants to companies to invest in training for their workers. This financing is obtained from the contributions that companies and workers make to social security in each paycheck.
