Who can apply

Funding provided by the RCF is dedicated to supporting new or existing cooperative training initiatives by investing in infrastructure and equipment that will be used for the practical training in vocational training institutions. The RCF invites applications from consortia formed by one vocational training institution and a minimum of three companies as beneficiaries and partners in the cooperative training programs for which investments are planned. The funded training programs may exist already but they can equally be foreseen to address new skills and new occupational areas are in the process of being developed. Dedication to, the willingness to engage in and eventually a certain track record of cooperative training activities will be key attributes of successful RCF applicants.
