Eligible project scope
Vocational-school quality and school–employer cooperation, including mandatory apprenticeship arrangements in project type 1, other workplace placements/practices in type 2, support for vocational-school learners in type 3, and teacher competency development in type 4. Type 4 can only be combined with type 1 or type 2.

Amounts and costs6
Catalogue budget
PLN 8,000,000

Figure as listed by the provider. Whether it is the total allocation or a per-project cap is unverified unless a reviewed condition says so.

Call allocation
PLN 8,000,000

Call-wide allocation; it is not an individual award amount.

Eligible cost
The apprenticeship unit rate includes the student’s cash benefit (stipendium) at 80% of the minimum hourly wage, employer/tutor remuneration during the placement, necessary consumables/tools, occupational safety training, required medical exams, meals/lodging where justified, travel, logs/materials and accident insurance. The student stipend is part of the unit-cost bundle, not a grant salary rate for an employee.
Eligible cost limit
15 %

Combined cross-financing expenditure may not exceed 15% of project expenditure; indirect costs attributable to cross-financing are included in the cap.

Funding intensity, maximum
90 %

Applies to eligible expenditure for projects not subject to public aid; the regulation states up to 85% EU plus up to 5% State budget.

Unit contribution
PLN 34

One clock-hour of a type 1 student apprenticeship for one student (student-hour), subject to the stated exception and the call’s indexation rule; this is a project cost contribution, not a staff hourly wage.

Own contribution, minimum
10 %

Share of eligible project expenditure; 9.99% or lower is expressly insufficient after rounding.
