RozwoYou is a scheme of development vouchers for companies in the Łódź Voivodeship. You pick the training, the course or the advisory from the Baza Usług Rozwojowych (BUR, the national Development Services Database) yourself, and we cover up to 85% of the cost.

What RozwoYou is
RozwoYou is a scheme of development vouchers worth PLN 100 each, with which a company from the Łódź Voivodeship pays for training, courses, postgraduate studies and advisory from the Database. The Zone is the programme’s operator: it announces the rounds, signs the agreements and settles the services.
The path is simple. You register your company in the Database, apply on the programme website during a round, sign the support agreement and pay your own contribution. You receive the vouchers in the ISOBR system and sign your employees up for the service you chose. After the training you fill in the surveys in the Database, and we settle the service with its provider. A voucher is valid for three months.
The level of funding depends on the size of the company: micro and small pay 15% of the price, medium-sized 40%, large 50%. Each employee can use up to PLN 10,000 across the whole project, and each company from PLN 20,000 (micro) to PLN 100,000 (large) in a single round. We settle training and advisory up to PLN 100 net per hour, postgraduate studies up to PLN 20 and examinations up to PLN 300. The programme has run since 2017 and is now in its third edition, which lasts until 31 January 2027.
What you gain
Development vouchers give a company what there is usually no budget for: training matched to what it needs, not to what happens to be free.
The catalogue is the whole Database run by PARP: thousands of training sessions, courses and degree programmes across Poland. You choose what your team needs, we pay the rest.
A micro or small company pays 15% of the value of the service, a medium-sized one 40%, a large one 50%. You pay your contribution once, when you collect the vouchers.
The vouchers also pay for advisory, postgraduate studies and certification examinations, SEP licences or a language certificate for example.
Applications, vouchers, settlements and KSeF invoices are handled by ISOBR, an application built for the programme. You print no applications and post nothing.
We have run the development vouchers in the Łódź Voivodeship since 2017. The two earlier editions covered more than a thousand companies and several thousand employees, so we know every step of the procedure.

Frequently asked questions
Entrepreneurs and employers with a registered office, a branch or a place of business in the Łódź Voivodeship, from micro-companies to large enterprises, and their employees. Individuals without a company use other programmes.
Only during a call window. We announce the rounds on the programme website at least 10 days in advance; some are addressed to one group of companies, medium-sized and large ones for example.
No. You choose the service in the Baza Usług Rozwojowych (the national Development Services Database) yourself. All we check is whether the service can be co-funded and whether it fits within the limits.
Once the service is over and you have filled in the surveys in the Baza Usług Rozwojowych (BUR, the national Development Services Database), we settle it with the provider in ISOBR. Your company never pays the provider the full price, only its own contribution at the start.
That is when the third edition ends. We will announce the next one on the programme website once the Łódź Voivodeship opens a new competition for operators.
