New Voucher for Unemployed People & Employees expected
A call for a new subsidised training programme for unemployed people & employees is expected. Applications in voucher rounds close within a few hours — leave your details, we will notify you on the first day and prepare everything you need together.
The basics
What is a training voucher
A voucher is a training cheque: a subsidised vocational training programme announced from time to time with public funding. With it, you attend the programme without paying tuition fees and, in addition, you receive a training allowance.
At the end, you sit certification exams — also free of charge — run by an independent certification body. The certificate is recognised and counts in job calls and on your CV.
Programmes usually focus on three areas that the job market needs:
Digital skills
from basic computer use to specialized tools
Green skills
energy, environment, circular economy
Financial literacy
management, costs, basic finance
Please note: the exact terms — amounts, hours, eligibility criteria, supporting documents — are set by the call for each round and they change. Here we describe what usually applies, so you know what to expect. As soon as a new call is announced, we publish its exact details.
