Accessible learning matters—so do real funding routes.
Romania doesn’t typically use a single, universal training voucher for bootcamps. Instead, support is often delivered through a mix of public employment services (ANOFM/AJOFM), EU-funded programs (ESF+/PEO), and targeted initiatives funded through PNRR—plus employer-sponsored learning. Availability depends on eligibility, county-level offerings, and open calls. If you’d like help mapping your options, contact us and we’ll guide you on the practical steps and typical paperwork (quote, syllabus, schedule, and proof of enrolment).

ANOFM / AJOFM vocational training for jobseekers
If you’re registered as a jobseeker with your local AJOFM, you may be eligible for free vocational training and requalification programmes. Available training themes and schedules can differ by county, so your local AJOFM is the best starting point.
ANOFM skills validation & certification (recognise what you already know)
Already have hands-on skills from work experience or self-study? In certain cases, registered jobseekers can access evaluation and certification of competencies acquired outside formal education—useful when you want recognised proof of skills for employers.
Employer co-funding for employee training (via ANOFM)
Some employers can access co-financing mechanisms for professional training programmes for their employees through ANOFM. If you’re employed, ask your HR/L&D team whether a co-financed training route could cover part of your upskilling.
ESF+ & Programul Educație și Ocupare (PEO) 2021–2027
Many upskilling initiatives in Romania are funded through the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) and delivered via PEO projects. These projects commonly focus on employability, lifelong learning, and digital skills—participation is typically through organisations running funded projects (not direct individual applications).
PNRR digital skills initiatives (watch for open calls)
Romania’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) includes digital transformation investments that can translate into training opportunities—often via employer, sector, or project-based programmes. Calls can open and close quickly, so timing and documentation matter.
ADR Investment 19: Advanced technologies training for SMEs (Digital4All)
ADR’s PNRR Investment 19 launched Digital4All—an e-learning platform for SME employees, offering training in advanced technologies like cloud, big data, machine learning and AI. Enrollment windows can be time-limited, but this is a great example of how Romania’s PNRR-funded upskilling schemes are structured.
Employer sponsorship & learning budgets
In Romania, adult training is often financed by employers (and sometimes supported by public/EU initiatives). If you’re working, many companies will sponsor short, job-relevant training—especially when it’s project-based and tied to measurable outcomes.
How To Get Started
Start by choosing the route that matches your situation (jobseeker, employed, SME employee, or EU project participant). Then confirm eligibility and deadlines, and gather the basics you’ll usually be asked for: a training outline, schedule, tuition quote, and proof of enrolment.
