| Training Refunds |
 |
| In order to encourage employers to provide training to a maximum number of employees, the Human Resource Development Council (HRDC)
offers grants as incentive. |
| |
| Eligibility for Grants |
| 1. Only employers contributing monthly to the levy will be eligible. |
| 2. Only training courses and programmes which have received the prior approval of the MQA/TEC will qualify. The training has to be job-related and must lead to acquisition of new skills. |
|
3. As the objective of the Council is to upgrade the local workforce, grants are restricted to trainees who are Mauritians or Permanent Residents of Mauritius. |
| |
| Employers can recover up to 75% of training costs depending on their tax
rate. |
