Argentina Opens Voucher-Based Training Program for Workers Earning Up to Three Times the Minimum Wage

The new Formando Capital Humano gives eligible people course access with personal vouchers while cash support remains tied to separate paid training and conditional allowances.

Overview

  • Formando Capital Humano is operating as a voucher platform that grants personal, nontransferable access to courses but does not pay a monthly allowance.
  • Private-sector workers whose gross monthly pay does not exceed three times the Salario Mínimo, Vital y Móvil are eligible to apply alongside unemployed adults, monotributistas, domestic staff, and temporary rural workers.
  • The Acciones de Entrenamiento para el Trabajo program remains active and pays participants a non‑remunerative monthly aid of $190,000, with the state covering the full amount for microenterprises and sharing costs with larger firms.
  • Acompañamiento Social continues to deliver conditional cash allowances under rules reformed in April and extended for 48 months that require beneficiaries to meet health, schooling, and training corresponsibilities.
  • Applications and selections for paid training run through Portal Empleo while Formando Capital Humano course vacancies and voucher assignments are listed on the program portal, and Fomentar Empleo currently has no open registrations.
