About
The Department for International Development awarded a contract to Palladium International Limited for the Subsidised Temporary Employment Programme (STEP), valued at AUD 14,074,196.
The programme aimed to incentivise small and medium-sized enterprises to expand production and create new permanent jobs for predominantly low-skilled Lebanese workers, as well as temporary jobs for Syrian refugees in accordance with Lebanese legislation.
STEP was expected to achieve this through the provision of finance and employment incentives, as well as a flexible package of technical assistance to facilitate access to Business Development Services.
