Mandatory 40-hour training in Vila Real
If you run a company in Vila Real (Vila Real district), the law requires you to give each employee 40 hours of certified professional training every year. That is the rule set by Article 131 of the Portuguese Labour Code, covering the workforce of a city and district capital of roughly 51,000 people.
Companies in Vila Real operate mainly in textiles, footwear, metalworking and agri-food, activities with specific risks that mandatory training helps prevent. Quirónprevención, with an office in Porto, provides these businesses with DGERT-certified training recognised by ACT.
