Qualification – Funding by the Montan-Stiftung-Saar

In Saarland, a renowned foundation continuously offers grants for qualification projects primarily aimed at the digitization of teaching and learning content, innovative teaching methods, as well as the optimization of training and further education programs. Funding is provided to companies, non-profit and public institutions, educational establishments, and private individuals whose projects have a clear connection to the Saarland steel industry. The goal is to make state-of-the-art learning concepts accessible to employees of these economic sectors and interested parties of all ages, thereby sustainably strengthening local competitiveness. Special emphasis is placed on lifelong learning to actively address the challenges of a dynamic labor market and the shortage of skilled workers.

For a successful application, a completed application form, a precise project description, the desired funding amount, and convincing proof of relevance to the foundation’s purpose must be submitted. Supplementary documents such as sketches or quotations can support the application. Since applications can be submitted at any time, there is the possibility to implement projects flexibly and promptly. This initiative promotes modern educational measures in the Saarland steel industry while simultaneously providing impetus for innovative teaching and learning formats throughout the region.
