As an employee, you are entitled to much more than just a regular salary from your employer. To help you stay on top of things, we’ve put together a handy list of benefits, allowances and insurance you can claim. Most of these are also paid for by the state

Retraining for new professions you get from the state

The job market is constantly evolving, and with the advent of artificial intelligence and ever-increasing technology in companies, finding a job is becoming a real problem for many people. Without a driving licence, language or technical skills, it’s as if you don’t exist. In addition, a number of new professions are emerging, such as ethical hacker or corporate ecologist.

Fortunately, there are countless ways to get a foothold in the market. The state will pay for your education, or at least contribute. And that’s up to 82% of the total cost of the course. The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs has now created an e-shop where you can easily choose your dream retraining. The range of retraining courses is constantly changing and expanding, so you are more likely to find a course that suits you. With an extended education, it’s easier to get a new job or even a higher salary.

The state pays for retraining up to CZK 50,000 over 3 consecutive years. You can enrol as an employee, entrepreneur, unemployed, student or parent on maternity leave.
