Tilskudd til tilbydere av høyere yrkesfaglig utdanning

Innlandet fylkeskommune offers operating grants to providers of higher vocational education (fagskoler) with study locations in the Innlandet region of Norway. The grant is aimed at supporting NOKUT-accredited higher vocational education programs that serve the needs of the local, regional, and national labor markets. Private and public vocational schools in Innlandet can apply for funding to support new educational offerings not previously financed with public grants, or to start new cohorts of programs that have received prior funding. The grant must be used to benefit students in accredited higher vocational education programs. The program aligns with four national objectives set by the Ministry of Education: ensuring high quality in higher vocational education, providing relevant education that meets workforce competency needs, ensuring good access to higher vocational education throughout the country, and promoting an efficient and well-managed vocational education sector. Operating grants are distributed twice annually in accordance with guidelines from the Ministry of Education, and recipients must report to the national vocational education statistics system (Fagskolestatistikk) throughout the year.
