Based on a collective agreement, temporary work agencies contribute a fixed share of payroll (0.6%) to a training fund. In return, the temporary work agencies receive funding for implementing sectoral training programmes. The maximum amount that a temporary work agency may receive is up to the amount of the entity's contribution to the training fund reduced by the operational cost of the fund. No preferential treatment for a particular eligible group is applied. For temporary workers, the main focus of training is on health and safety and employability. For permanent employees, the main focus is on induction training and continuing training.
