Everything you need to know
There is no single list
Courses with European funds are promoted by each project: AJOFMs, trade unions and NGOs. The programme itself is presented on the Ministry of Investment and European Projects website.
Ask at the AJOFM in your city which projects are currently open.
What to check
Only people who fit the project's target audience can participate. Attendance is mandatory and places are limited.
The subsidy amount varies from project to project.
Career change
Many projects serve people who want to change profession or have low qualifications.
It's a good option for those who work and are not eligible for the free AJOFM course.
