The Regional Challenge Fund (RCF) has issued the 1st call for Expression of Interest to support investments in dual education projects.

The deadline for submitting applications is April 30, 2021.

The Regional Challenge Fund will support:

  • Development and systematic use of cooperative training methods and introduction of new technologies;
  • Associating companies with vocational education and training institutions to create a training program that meets their needs, thus addressing the lack of human resources and building capacity where it is most needed.
