Career Advancement Measures of the Chamber of Commerce

This funding measure supports the vocational training and continuing education courses of WIFI Vorarlberg to facilitate the acquisition and expansion of job-relevant qualifications for adults in the Vorarlberg region. Through an annual funding application by the Vorarlberg Chamber of Commerce to the Office of the Vorarlberg State Government, a grant is provided to ensure the financing of course costs. Thanks to this direct funding, the extensive course offerings are maintained and can be continuously adapted to the needs of the labor market. Applications can be submitted continuously and throughout the year to the Office of the Vorarlberg State Government, Department of General Economic Affairs – thus creating planning security for both training providers and participants alike.

Adults wishing to expand their professional prospects find tailored support in this initiative. Eligibility for funding lies with public institutions, with the Vorarlberg Chamber of Commerce handling the central application process. Submission requires a single application with a project description outlining the objective, scope, and expected outcomes of the continuing education. Only course costs are funded in accordance with the provisions of the General Funding Guidelines of the Vorarlberg State Government (AFRL). Following a positive decision and submission of the cost statement, payment is made within the available budget. Interested parties can verify their eligibility for funding of their training and continuing education projects based on the AFRL guidelines and thus actively advance their professional development.
