"Lifelong learning is a necessity dictated by the labour market, and it is our job to ensure that professional growth opportunities are accessible to everyone. [..] It is important that people with currently insufficient levels of education can also apply for adult training, thereby increasing their chances and competitiveness in the labour market,” said VIAA Director Dita Traidās.
Applications are open until February 24 on macibaspieaugusajiem.lv. The majority of the training costs are covered by EU funds and the State.
