The Employment Service invites employers and employees to take advantage of the state-supported apprenticeship scheme. This is a form of vocational training where most skills are acquired in a real workplace, while theoretical knowledge is provided by a vocational training institution.
Who can participate?
- Jobseekers.
- Employees wishing to acquire a new qualification or retrain.
What are the benefits?
- Training scholarships.
- Covered travel and accommodation costs (if needed).
- Partial reimbursement of training costs for the employer.
- Salary paid during the training period.
- Possibility to combine with other Employment Service measures, e.g., subsidised employment or internships.
What types of contracts are signed?
- Tripartite contract – between the Employment Service, the employer, and the apprentice. The employer commits to employ the apprentice for at least 6 months.
- Bipartite contract – between the Employment Service and the apprentice, who then enters employment or starts self-employment in line with the acquired qualification.
