STAP Grant

Take training with STAP subsidy

At Doornbos, we believe it is important to provide space for personal development. We are therefore pleased to see the central government has launched a new initiative that allows employed and job seekers to use subsidies to attend training, education or courses. The grant is called STAP, which stands for Stimulating Labor Market Position. A STAP budget of up to €1,000 per year can be requested.

All Doornbos training courses are eligible for STAP funding.

Who can apply for STAP budget?

As a working person or job seeker, you can apply for the STAP budget once a year via Stapuwv.nl. An application period starts every 2 months. Has a period’s grant run out when you want to apply? Then try again in a subsequent application period. (OP = OP)
