IEFP is Portugal's public service for employment and vocational training within the government. It maintains a nationwide network of Employment Centers, Vocational Training Centers, and Centers for Business Creation Support, guided by five regional delegations. Based in Lisbon, the agency acts as the implementing body for the country's employment and vocational training policies. Its core constituencies include job seekers, immigrants, and aspiring entrepreneurs who rely on these services to connect with work, training, or business creation support. As the agency responsible for implementing employment and training policies, it addresses practical needs such as guidance on rights and duties within public employment services and unemployment benefit programs. In September 2024, IEFP announced initiatives to provide targeted training for immigrants to clarify their rights and responsibilities when interacting with public employment services and related benefits.
