Vestfold fylkeskommune provides operational grants to vocational colleges (fagskoler) in the county to offer competence that is needed locally, regionally and nationally. Both private and public vocational colleges can apply for grants for higher vocational education.

Priority is given to education aligned with regional competence strategies, sustainable development and the green transition, time-relevant content, programs developed in close collaboration with the workforce, and education important at regional or national levels.
