The government and specific sector funds offer many subsidy and financing options for training to strengthen your organisation. Whether your Learn&Connect process qualifies is stated per study programme. Below is an overview.
You can get financial support from the Flemish Region to follow certain Mensura training courses, for yourself or for your employees, up to EUR 7,500 per year (see conditions), via the electronic portal Home - e-loketondernemers.be.
Your employer applies for the subsidies via the e-counter for entrepreneurs. The subsidy application has to be submitted upfront or within 14 days of the start of training or the advice.
As a self-employed person, you can also apply for subsidies and attend certain Mensura training courses via the same link.
Tip: choose 'Duurzaamheid' in the field 'thema' of the application form.

The Flemish Agency for Innovation & Entrepreneurship provides support to SMEs and the liberal professions.
You can buy training cheques for a maximum of €250 per school year. As an employee or temporary worker you pay half, the Flemish government the other half. You can use the cheques for certain Mensura courses.
You apply for the cheques yourself via the online counter of the Department of Work & Social Economy of the Flemish government.
You can apply, for yourself or for your employees, for cheques from the Walloon government that allow you to follow certain Mensura training courses. For a training cheque worth €30, valid for 1 hour of training, your employer pays €15. The Walloon region pays the remaining €15.
As an employee, you request the cheques from your employer. Your employer requests the cheques via the social secretariat.
As a self-employed person, you can also apply for these training vouchers (check the entry requirements before submitting your application).
As an employee, you can have your wages paid by the government while you are following a course. Your employer will then be reimbursed a fixed amount. This will ensure you don’t lose wages.
The arrangement is similar for each region: you provide the necessary documents to your employer, he or she will then request the refund. Where your employer goes for the refund differs per region.
Your company can receive a maximum of €10,000 in financial support for guidance to draw up a tailor-made workability plan and the actions that result from it, such as organising training.
Sole proprietorships, and even SMEs or large companies, are eligible. Your employer applies for the subsidy via the website of the European Social Fund (ESF).
Depending on your sector, it is often the case that you can also apply for subsidies for training via a sector fund. To be sure your study programme qualifies, your employer should enquire with your sector fund about the conditions.
