Aid for Accompanying Agricultural and Forestry Vocational Training

The subsidies for accompanying agricultural and forestry vocational training in Carinthia support educational providers and companies in conducting courses, training programs, and study trips in the agricultural and forestry sector. The aim of the measure is the targeted qualification of farmers and forest owners through professionally sound continuing education offerings on site. Both theoretical and practice-oriented modules are funded, providing participants with up-to-date knowledge on sustainable production methods, farm management, and innovative technologies. With a direct grant approach, the program contributes to strengthening professional competence in rural areas and securing the competitiveness of regional agriculture in the long term.

Eligible for funding are educational institutions and companies that organize agricultural and forestry training and continuing education measures in Carinthia. A prerequisite for funding is the implementation of courses, training programs, or study trips within the federal state of Carinthia. Applications can be submitted at any time, as this is an ongoing funding opportunity. The responsible Department 10 – Agriculture and Forestry, Rural Areas – within the Office of the Carinthian State Government is in charge of reviewing and approving funding procedures as well as monitoring the appropriate use of funds. Through financial relief, broader participation in part-time educational offerings is enabled, thereby making a sustainable contribution to the development of a future-oriented agricultural and forestry sector in rural areas.
