Applications Open for the 2025 Subsidy Program by the Sports Administration to Build a Healthy and Energetic Workplace through Corporate Recruitment of Sports Instructors
To promote diverse employment opportunities for sports talents and encourage enterprises to promote employee sports activities, the Sports Administration (SA) launched the "Corporate Recruitment of Sports Instructors" project in 2018. This project encourages enterprises to hire sports instructors and provides subsidies for organizing employee sports activities, with the goal of enhancing sports culture and vitality in the workplace. To date, 645 sports instructors have been hired, and over 2,300 employee sports events with more than 570,000 participants have been subsidized. The 2025 “Subsidy Program for Corporate Recruitment of Sports Instructors” is now accepting online applications, with a deadline of September 14, 2025. Enterprises are encouraged to participate in promoting employee sports activities. This year, the program offers increased subsidies, with companies hiring new sports instructors eligible for up to NT$2.45 million in funding for employee sports activities. Companies that continue to employ previous instructors will receive an additional NT$150,000 subsidy per instructor.
To promote the overall sports culture in companies and encourage enterprise exchange, this year the project will also organize "Corporate Sports Events." To encourage enterprises to participate, the subsidy has been increased by NT$50,000. Details of the events and participation will be announced on the "iSports Information Platform" event webpage. Companies are invited to actively register and strive for honors. The aim is to encourage employees to stay fit in daily life and use sports events as a way to make friends.
The SA also offers additional free incentive measures, including "Technological Fitness Testing," "Sports Celebrity/Ambassador Lectures," "Consultation Services," and "Sports Instructor Training Courses." These aim to help enterprises promote employee sports activities and activate human resources within the company. Enterprises interested in applying can contact the Project Management Center and use the “iSports Information Platform” for online job matching with sports professionals.
