What is the SME e-wallet?
The SME e-wallet is a subsidy measure of the Flemish government. This encourages small and medium-sized enterprises within the Flemish Region to invest in their most valuable business unit, namely their personnel.
The following conditions apply::
- The subsidy contribution applies to all courses of AXITO, which are followed by workers in a Flemish company with the aim of improving the current or future business functioning.
- You must follow the course with study guidance from your AXITO teacher.
