Activities regarding supplementary education
All employees at the Department of Public Health may apply for financial support from the Department to participate in supplementary education activities. Please note that as a general rule applications from employees with access to other resources, such as annual grants or project grants, will not be considered.
Resources for supplementary education activities are allocated during the annual budgeting at the Department.
Priority is given based on the following criteria: Professional or personal outcome in relation to the individual's current work situation, based on an evaluation of which skills are needed at the Department. Importance is attached to whether the activity has been discussed during staff development dialogue (SDD).
The daily Department management team prioritizes applications in collaboration with the applicant's immediate manager. Priorities are made based on whether and to which extent the applicant has previously received support.
