Comments & Clarifications

Persons aged 55+ is one of the target groups of the active employment measure “Measure for unemployed representing disadvantaged groups”, the aim of which is to employ the unemployed in state co-financed jobs in order to help them understand labour market demands, to promote finding a regular job, and encourage integration of the unemployed from the target groups in society.
In order to supplement and improve the knowledge and skills necessary for work, persons subject to the risk of unemployment can also participate in lifelong learning. Persons aged 45+ is one of the target groups of educational programmes for adults. Additionally, if not more than five years remain before the person reaches the age of pension eligibility (except in the case that the person receives an old age pension before term), a person has the right to receive repayment of the financial resources intended for training in full amount (others - in the amount of 70 % of the training costs).
