It’s almost time: the first STAP budget round of 2023 is about to open

Ready to start 2023 by levelling up your career skills? Then it’s time to apply for the first government-funded STAP subsidy of the year on March 17!

The STAP subsidy is a government budget aimed at helping employees of the Dutch labour market advance their career skills. By covering up to €1,000 of the costs of a listed training programme, the budget is meant to help employees learn, advance, or retain skills — without spending a single cent. Heel prima, hé?

Any EU citizen above the age of 18 that is linked to the Dutch labour market can apply for the STAP subsidy. If you’re interested, don’t forget to apply for the training budget before you start your training or education.

You want in? Make sure you sign up quickly! Since the STAP budget is limited, only a certain amount of people be lucky enough to get it. So get those fingers ready for typing on March 17 at 10 AM sharp!
