Funding for training in the industrial insulation sector

Never has the topic of vocational training been as topical as it is today. The increasing requirements of energy efficiency, the Green Deal and CO₂ reduction are causing the demand for qualified industrial insulation fitters in Europe to soar. At the same time, the vocational education system is not keeping up - there is a lack of schools training in this field and the cadre of professionals is ageing and slowly retiring.

Fortunately, entrepreneurs and employees are not left to fend for themselves - a great deal of funding opportunities for courses and training are available in 2025. As a company enrolled in the Development Services Database (BUR), Natalux helps to take advantage of funding programmes and delivers training courses that in practice cost participants a fraction of their real value.

Why is subsidised training an opportunity for companies and employees?

• Lower costs - companies and individuals can receive up to 80-100% in funding.
• Access to certified courses - including NORSOK exam preparation, PN-B compliant, CINI or FROSIO.
• Personnel development - training improves skills and enables the recruitment of staff prepared for the European market.
• Compliance with EU policies - the Green Deal and ESG strategies require companies to invest in energy-efficient solutions - insulation is one of the pillars of these measures.

What funding programmes are available?

1. BUR - Development Services Database (PARP)
   • A nationwide programme that provides funding for training for employees and companies.
   • Natalux, as a BUR-registered entity, implements courses for clients from all over Poland.
2. WUP and PUP - labour offices
   • Regional programmes for employees and unemployed people who want to re-skill or upskill.
   • Many projects funded by the ESF (European Social Fund).
3. EU and national funds for green transformation
   • Training linked to energy efficiency and climate protection often has additional financial support.
4. Sectoral programmes and chambers of craftsmen
   • Opportunities to fund courses through local organisations and professional associations.

Why does industrial insulation fit into the Green Deal and ESG?

• Energy efficiency - insulation reduces heat loss by up to 90%.
• CO₂ reduction - every insulated appliance means fewer emissions into the atmosphere.
• Occupational safety - insulation protects people and installations.
• Sustainability - not just a cost, but an investment in a green and competitive economy.

This makes the industrial insulator courses ideally suited to the criteria of EU and nationally funded projects.

What is the training process like at Natalux?
