The Skills and Education Guarantee Pilot aims to provide financing to higher education providers to enhance and develop what they can offer. This will increase access to education and training and reduce unequal opportunities, by reducing the financial burden on the participant, including by investing in SMEs for them to up- and re-skill their employees.
- Support individuals, students and learners, in order to enhance their education attainment and skills level by unlocking access to finance to cover education and skills gap in Europe resulting from societal and technological transformations;
- Support the provision of employee training, apprenticeships and the skills transformation efforts by European enterprises by providing risk finance for improving the skills and skills utilisation of their workforce’s skill set
- Enhance access to finance to both existing as well as new European organisations active in the field of skills, training and education or developing projects in education field with the objective of stimulating their development, growth and internationalisation
- Support the development and/or deployment of services ancillary to skills, training and education.
