If you own your own business/organisation/company you have endless opportunities to train your staff through the subsidised seminars and training provided through the HRD Authority.
The ANAD recently announced major new training opportunities for 76,500 employees and unemployed people, at a cost of €23.3 million.
It is noteworthy that any company regardless of size (small, medium, large) is entitled to benefit from State Aid (De Minimis) to receive grants or subsidies for, inter alia, education and training of its staff. This amount is EUR 300 000 and is renewable every three years.
The company is entitled to train as many people as it employs without any restriction.
These training courses can be implemented in 3 different ways:
1) The Single Company Seminars: These are implemented within the company itself and the trainer can be either a company staff member or an external trainer, provided that he/she is already certified as an ANAD Level 5 Vocational Training Trainer. The subject matter can be fully adapted to the company’s own data and needs and the subsidy for the company can be as high as 100%.
2) The Multi-enterprise Seminars_Original: These are organized by the KEKs, the approved Vocational Training Centres of the ANAD. All employees of a company can participate in them, as long as the tasks and job position of each employee are in line with the subject matter of each seminar. The multi-company seminars of each semester are announced on the official ANAD website. It is a prerequisite that the instructor of the seminar is also a Certified Vocational Training Instructor of ANAD. The subsidy for these seminars is 80% for each participant.
3) The Multi-Business_ Vital Seminars: These seminars are also organized by approved CECs. They differ in two main respects from the Multi-Business_Seminars_Significant. The first point of differentiation is that their topics are always innovative, while the second point of differentiation is that the grant for these seminars is 100% for each participant.
