In order to explain to you what the “KOMPASS program” is, whom it is suitable for and how exactly the funding works, we have prepared this short glossary article.
What is the "KOMPASS program"?
The “KOMPASS program” is an initiative that is specifically tailored to solo self-employed and small business owners and aims to specifically promote their further training. Comparable to a compass that provides orientation, the program supports entrepreneurs in expanding their skills and strengthening their business in the long term.
How does the "KOMPASS program" work?
The “KOMPASS program” enables solo entrepreneurs and small business owners to attend targeted training courses to develop their entrepreneurial skills. The special feature of the program is that up to 90% of further training costs are covered, making further training considerably more accessible and affordable for entrepreneurs.
Who is the "KOMPASS program" suitable for?
The “KOMPASS program” is explicitly aimed at solo entrepreneurs and small business owners residing and operating in Germany who have been active on the market for at least two years, employ a maximum of one full-time equivalent employee and run their business as their main occupation. The "KOMPASS program" enables them to sustainably expand their professional and entrepreneurial skills, for example in areas such as digitalization, marketing, financial planning or business management. By updating knowledge and being open to new methods, it is possible to hold your own on the market in the long term.
Advantages of the "KOMPASS program":
