This enables us to offer subsidised programmes at a significantly reduced cost for employees and at no cost for eligible unemployed participants, drawing on the knowledge, infrastructure and experience we have built over the last 20 years, with excellent results of over 95%.
The seminars are delivered in person and/or online, depending on the programme and the available group.
