The Empoyment fund has received a considerable amount of applications for both scholarships for qualified employees and applications for adult education allowances. The amount of applications has lead to a longer processing time.

Due to longer prosessing times for these applications, please check the estimated time on our page Benefits for adult students. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
