Hello
Our workshops are delivered by our partner company VELIT Consulting.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Tourism of Baden-Wuerttemberg supports professional development courses through its funding programme for continuing education. In light of rapid structural change driven by digitalisation and demographic change, the demands placed on the workforce continue to rise.
Requirements have also increased significantly in the field of data protection, not only since the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Data protection and data security have become central topics in the context of digital transformation.
To meet these challenges, lifelong learning is essential. We place particular emphasis on securing skilled labour, especially when it comes to handling personal data, particularly in the SME-driven industries of our federal state. For this reason, employees aged 55 and over also receive an additional participation bonus to strengthen their motivation for further training.
The aim of the funding programme is to increase the attractiveness of corporate professional development by subsidising course fees. The grant is funded by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Tourism of Baden-Wuerttemberg on the basis of the ESF Plus programme under Priority A: "Sustainable employment, lifelong learning and skills development, social inclusion, participation in society, and combating poverty."
You can find further information on the ESF Plus programme website.
Overall, a subsidy of 30% up to 70% of eligible course fees is granted as partial funding. This means that for the workshops we offer, you only pay the reduced course fee.
In general, 30% of course fees are eligible for funding per course. Participants aged 55 and over, as well as individuals without a formally recognised professional qualification, receive a subsidy of 70%. Funding applies regardless of the number of participants. You only pay the reduced course fee plus applicable VAT.
If you meet the funding requirements, you generally only pay the reduced course fee. We handle the administrative processing as the provider.
Eligible are individuals who live in Baden-Wuerttemberg or whose company is based there, including employees, entrepreneurs, freelancers, aspiring founders, and returners to the workforce. Multiple workshops can also be funded.
Excluded from funding are employees of the federal government, state governments, municipalities, transfer companies, and businesses outside Baden-Wuerttemberg. However, employees of legally independent, publicly funded companies are eligible.
If you are looking for training funding in Baden-Wuerttemberg, subsidies for professional development, or support for workshop fees, this programme offers a practical way to reduce eligible course costs. It is designed for individuals and companies that want to build relevant professional skills through targeted training and continuing education.
This is particularly important in areas such as digital transformation, data protection, artificial intelligence, leadership, and modern collaboration. As qualification needs continue to grow, funding helps make high-quality workshops more accessible and easier to plan. Instead of postponing training, companies and participants can invest in professional development with a clearer budget and more predictable costs.
Depending on eligibility, the programme covers 30% to 70% of eligible course fees. This makes it especially relevant for people searching for subsidised workshops, funded training courses in Baden-Wuerttemberg, or ESF Plus support for continuing professional education. For companies, freelancers, and employees alike, the financial relief can make practical training much easier to book and justify.
The benefit is direct: instead of carrying the full cost of a seminar or workshop, participants only pay the remaining course fee plus applicable VAT. This makes applied learning formats more attractive, especially when they focus on immediately relevant topics such as AI adoption, data protection requirements, digital processes, or organisational change in day-to-day business.
Training funding is particularly valuable for employees, entrepreneurs, freelancers, aspiring founders, and returners to the workforce who live in Baden-Wuerttemberg or whose company is based there. Anyone looking for eligible workshops and practical professional development can use the programme to access relevant training faster and with lower financial barriers.
For small and medium-sized businesses, funded training is also a practical way to build internal capabilities without delaying qualification due to budget constraints. It supports structured knowledge development, helps teams respond to regulatory and technological change, and turns continuing education into a realistic part of business development rather than an optional extra.
