Why take an interest in KFS now

The KFS operates in annual cycles, with application deadlines usually announced at the beginning of the calendar year. Since funds are not awarded all the time, but at certain times, companies must act in advance.

Why is now a good time?

1. You need to apply on time - delays may result in you not being able to access the funds for the year. 
2. Budget and staff planning - by knowing which staff you want to send, you can calculate your own contribution and the subsidised part.
3. Selection of training - you must decide in advance which training courses meet the conditions of the KFS (e.g. shortage occupations) and will be implemented according to the requirements of the office. 
4. Logistics and scheduling - scheduling of training dates, substitutes, holidays, coordination with the training provider (e.g. Natalux).
5. Own contribution and documents - preparation of the own contribution (usually 20%) and the required annexes to the application (e.g. statements, training programmes). Who is worth sending for KFS training?

• Workers performing insulation installation work - increasing efficiency and quality.
• Technical and supervisory specialists - to become familiar with the standards (NORSOK, FROSIO, CINI).
• Individuals with high development potential - you are investing in future team leaders.
• Employees who have hitherto not had access to sectoral training - to compensate for skills gaps.

When is the best time to schedule training?

• At the beginning of the year - when KFS calls are made.
• After seasonal projects, when people's resources are more flexible.
• During periods of lower production - so that it does not interfere with the execution of tasks.
• Including the processing period - usually the offices give 30 days for a decision.
