Education voucher

Continuous training is an essential prerequisite for employees to be able to cope with constantly changing tasks and to constantly develop new solutions in the interest of the customers. Financial support for further training is provided by the education cheque. The team at the Münsterland Regional Agency and many other counselling centres in the region issue the education voucher in a personal meeting and provide information about suitable offers. Both employees and companies can apply for the education cheque.

  • Updating or expanding existing professional qualifications
  • Further training in learning and working techniques
