Language training grants
Invest in your employees
Both the government and industry associations make various grants available each year for teaching or improving (basic) language skills. These subsidies are available to you as an individual or to groups of employees within your organization.
Subsidy scheme supporting employers deployment of status holders
To support employers in the sustainable employment of status holders, the Ministry of Social Affairs & Employment (SZW) offers them the opportunity to apply for a subsidy to do so. This subsidy is intended for extra guidance of status holders in the workplace aimed at reducing language and cultural differences.
Employers can apply for grants from Sept. 2 through Sept. 30, 2024, through the website Implementation of Policy SSW.
Subsidy for on-the-job Dutch language training in the cleaning industry
Does your employer fall under the CAO, is your employer affiliated with the industry pension fund Schoonmaak- en Glazenwassersbedrijf and does it pay a RAS premium? Then you can receive a contribution (€ 3,500 per participant per course) to the training costs for employees who want to follow a language or writing course (for direct managers) in Dutch, for example:
Dutch in the workplace
Dutch for expats
If there are several employees taking the same Dutch training course, this may mean for you as an employer that the total training costs are reimbursed by the RAS contribution.
