Training for entrepreneurs at the Grohman Factory

Train your employees for 15% of the price. We cover the rest with vouchers

Do you want to raise your team’s qualifications, but the training budget runs out on the second course? Since 2017 we have handed out development vouchers to companies in the Łódź Voivodeship, which pay for training, advisory and postgraduate studies. A micro or small company adds 15%, the funding covers the rest.

What we will do for you

Vouchers sound like paperwork. In practice they are three forms and one agreement, and an account manager takes you through all of it. We have been the voucher operator for nine years.

  • 01

    We cover up to 85% of the training

    Micro and small companies get 85% funding, medium-sized ones 60%, large ones 50%. You can use up to PLN 10,000 per employee across the whole project.

  • 02

    You give the team a choice of 30,000 services

    With vouchers you pay for any service in the Baza Usług Rozwojowych (BUR, the national Development Services Database): a vocational course, software training, advisory, postgraduate studies or an examination.

  • 03

    We settle it for you

    A voucher is worth PLN 100 and carries a QR code. You receive it in our system, the employee signs up for a service with the support number, and we settle the invoice. All you watch is attendance.

  • 04

    We tell you when to apply

    The calls run in rounds, and small rounds close within a few days. Your account manager tells you when the next one starts, who it is for and how much money is left in the pool.

How it works

You do the formalities once. After that, every further course is only a sign-up for the employee in the Database.

Training participants in the Grohman Factory lounge

  • The Database is a free training search engine run by PARP. You register your company there and see at once which services can be paid for with vouchers.

  • On the days of the call you fill in the form on the project website and a declaration of your company’s size. We sign the support agreement and tell you your pool.

  • You pay your own part, receive a support number and the vouchers in the ISOBR system. From then on your employees sign up for the services they choose in the Database.

  • After the service the employee fills in a survey in the Database and we settle the invoice with the provider. The next course is another sign-up, with no new application.

Projects we run in training

We hand out the vouchers within one specific Zone project. Check its rules and the current application rounds.

Before you book a consultation

  • A micro or small company pays 15% of the value of the service, a medium-sized one 40% and a large one 50%. You pay your contribution once, when you collect the vouchers.

  • On any service in the Baza Usług Rozwojowych (the national Development Services Database) marked as eligible for co-funding: training, courses, advisory, postgraduate studies and examinations. We settle training and advisory up to PLN 100 net per hour, studies up to PLN 20 and examinations up to PLN 300.

  • The calls run in rounds and we announce them on the project website only; we give at least ten working days’ notice before a round closes. Leave your contact details and an account manager will tell you when the round for a company of your size starts.

  • As the voucher operator we do not train. Technical training is delivered by the Zone’s company, Strefa Edukacji, but it is one of thousands of providers in the Baza Usług Rozwojowych (BUR, the national Development Services Database), and you choose where you train.

  • No. The vouchers are for every company in the Łódź Voivodeship, including one that has never heard of a support decision.

  • Three months from the day we issue it, as a rule. So plan the service only once you have your support number.
