Subsidies for your Training

In many countries you may find opportunities to apply for subsidies or facilitations for further education.

Germany

In times of economic downturn short-time work becomes more and more common in automotive companies. Maybe you find yourself in this situation and you would like to benefit from it by attending further education? In some cases the german government allows subsidies for qualification and further education for short-time workers residing in Germany.

Germany/NRW

Participants from companies in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, can save up to 50 percent of training fees when they furnish a so-called "Bildungsscheck" (vouchers for education).

You may find more information on the website of the Versorgungsamt in Nordrhein-Westfalen.

Netherlands

Participants in the Netherlands may profit from subsidies if they work short-time.

France

Because french companies have to pay taxes for futher education, employees and freelancers have various opportunities to request a subsidy for further education which depends on their specific situation.

Some of our participants and customers have received a subsidy from an OPCA (Organismes Paritaires Collecteurs Agrées) in the past. For this purpose you need to apply for a subsidy at the responsible OPCA. (Please notice that it is best to apply before the training begins.) Criteria for subsidies are established by the OPCA which is responsible for your company.

You may find further information here. At "Centre Inffo" you may enquire for information concerning the prevailing treaties in your branch.

Please enquire for further information concerning specific legislations in your home country at the responsible authority.
