Apprentices, newly qualified journeymen, instructors, and committee members at Iðan have the opportunity to apply for an Erasmus+ grant for a study visit in another European country. Iðan participates in numerous international projects, and Erasmus+ is one of them. The goal of a study visit in another country is to get to know one's profession better in an international context and to provide insight into the lives and work of people abroad.
Iðan Education Centre provides grants to cover travel costs for members in rural areas to attend courses.
Companies can apply for a grant from Iðan, either individually or in collaboration with other companies, educational providers, and/or trade unions that are members of Iðan, via the website attin.is
Within Iðunn, industry leaders and study and career counsellors work on educational analyses for companies. It is possible to specifically request a company visit and advice on education for staff.
Members receive grants for studies in accordance with Matvís's rules on the allocation of continuing education and study grants. Members are entitled to a course grant of up to 40% of the course fee, but never exceeding ISK 75,000 per year. Applications must be submitted on My Pages on the Matvís website. https://matvis.is/namskeid-og-ferdastyrkir
Members for whom contributions are paid into Iðunn's continuing education fund can apply for grants for courses to obtain an extended driving licence. The member in question must provide a justification for their application, but a condition for awarding the grant is that the extended driving licence is related to the employee's professional field.
