Support for Educational Measures in Training Centers

Funding of Educational Measures in Training Centers is aimed at training centers throughout Austria that implement measures for vocational training and further education, active job search, career orientation, basic qualification, and training measures on behalf of the Public Employment Service (AMS). Interested educational institutions, non-profit organizations, public institutions, as well as companies, can submit applications continuously. Through a pure grant model, both personnel expenses and material costs are covered to provide a comprehensive service package. The goal is to economically and precisely support the local and national labor market, increase labor force participation, and achieve a sustainable reduction in unemployment through targeted qualification.

A prerequisite for funding is the commissioning by the AMS as a training center, the exclusive use of the facility within the framework of a multi-year usage agreement, and the implementation of non-commercial training programs. Eligible for funding are providers who meet these requirements and can demonstrate a normative needs assessment by the AMS. Expenses for teaching and administrative staff as well as necessary material resources are particularly funded. Applications can be submitted at any time; there is no fixed deadline. The support ensures that high-quality educational offerings are continuously available and tailored qualification programs are offered to job seekers. At the same time, this measure contributes to specifically meeting the demand for skilled workers in various industries and creating long-term stable employment prospects.
