Investment Funding for Inter-company Vocational Training Centers for Initial and Further Training

This funding program is aimed at operators of inter-company vocational training centers (ÜBS) in Schleswig-Holstein. The goal is to ensure the quality and modernity of vocational initial, further, and advanced training through investments in infrastructure and to meet the demand for skilled workers in the region.

The program supports investments in the infrastructure of inter-company vocational training centers, including construction and equipment measures for modernization and further development. It covers specific costs, while others, such as land acquisition or administration, are excluded. The funding aims to ensure a modern educational landscape.

The program provides non-repayable grants as co-financing for eligible investments. The maximum funding amount is 50% of the eligible expenses, with total public funding not exceeding 75%. Specific commitment periods apply to the funded objects.

Specific conditions must be met for the application and implementation of the funded projects, including financial self-contributions and commitment periods. In addition, provisions regarding data use and real estate security must be observed.

The application for funding must be submitted in duplicate to the Schleswig-Holstein Institute for Vocational Education (SHIBB) before the start of the project. The granting authority examines the eligibility and appropriateness of the costs and decides on the allocation of funds at its discretion.

The funding is based on the Guidelines for the Granting of Subsidies for Investment Funding of Inter-company Vocational Training Centers in the State of Schleswig-Holstein and is supported by state and federal funds. These guidelines and supplementary administrative regulations of the State Budget Code form the foundation of the program.
