Temporary Suspension of Support from Finanskompetencepuljen

There has been an exceptionally high interest in Finanskompetencepuljen this year. It is encouraging to see that the fund’s support is in demand by both employees and companies in the sector. The purpose of Finanskompetencepuljen is, and always has been, to create offerings that mutually benefit the development of competencies in the sector.

Unfortunately, the demand in 2024 has been so significant that the funds allocated for this year have now been exhausted.

Therefore, the Board of Finanskompetencepuljen had to implement a temporary suspension of grants for Finanskompetencepuljens course offerings. This step has proven necessary because the adjustments to grants introduced earlier this year have not been sufficient. The temporary suspension includes grants for educational activities for both individual courses and company courses (§ 3). The suspension will take effect from September 30, 2024.

There will still be an opportunity to apply for grants for company projects (§ 2).

Finanskompetencepuljen stems from a collective agreement between Finans Danmark / Employers and Finansforbundet, and it is important to be able to reopen the fund with clarity regarding its offerings and courses.
As negotiations between Finans Danmark / Employers and Finansforbundet will take place early next year, the temporary suspension of course applications is, for now, agreed to remain in place until March 1, 2025.
The Board regrets the inconvenience this temporary suspension may cause but looks forward to reopening the competency development offerings that both employees and companies are demanding.
