Funding for training courses and workshops - 45 % funding

Last updated: October 2026

Our workshops are delivered by our partner company VELIT Consulting.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs, Skilled Crafts and Tourism of Baden-Wuerttemberg supports professional training courses through its funding programme, financed from ESF Plus funds. 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 steadily in the field of artificial intelligence, especially in the context of digital transformation.

To meet these challenges, lifelong learning is essential. We place particular emphasis on securing skilled labour, especially in the SME-driven industries of our federal state.

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, Skilled Crafts and Tourism of Baden-Wuerttemberg on the basis of the ESF Plus programme.

You can find further information on the ESF Plus programme website.

How much is the subsidy?

A uniform subsidy of 45 % of the course fee applies to all eligible participants. This means that for the workshops we offer, you only pay the reduced course fee. There is no legal entitlement to the subsidy.

Your funding options at a glance

The 45 % subsidy applies to all workshops starting on or after 1 September 2026 - regardless of age or professional qualification. VAT, accommodation costs, and software or licences for use beyond the workshop are not subsidised. On-site and online workshops are equally eligible. You only pay the reduced course fee plus applicable VAT.

Save with ease

When you register, you fill in a short eligibility questionnaire and a participant form. If you belong to an eligible group, we deduct the subsidy directly from your invoice. We handle the administrative processing as the provider.

Funding requirements

Eligible are employed individuals whose place of employment is in Baden-Wuerttemberg, employed and employable individuals (including aspiring founders and returners to the workforce) whose place of residence is in Baden-Wuerttemberg, as well as entrepreneurs and freelancers with a registered business in Baden-Wuerttemberg – regardless of income. Multiple workshops can also be funded.

Not eligible

Excluded from funding are people without a place of residence, employment, or registered business in Baden-Wuerttemberg, as well as employees of the federal government, state governments, municipalities, and transfer companies (employees of legally independent, publicly funded companies are eligible). Also excluded are single-company bookings, where only employees of one single company take part or where one single company bears the entire participant contribution, as well as course fees already funded through other EU funds or public subsidies.

Training funding in Baden-Wuerttemberg for professional development

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 courses and continuing education.

This is particularly important in areas such as artificial intelligence, digital transformation, 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.

Subsidies for workshops, training courses, and practical upskilling

The seminar and training funding programme offers a uniform subsidy of 45 % on 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, digital processes, or organisational change in day-to-day business.

Who benefits most from workshop and training funding

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 - as long as the booking is not limited to employees of a single company. 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.
