What is being offered?
The competition provides scholarships of up to 500 USD for IDPs who want to enhance their professional skills through short-term courses or programs. The scholarship covers the cost of the course, which will be paid directly by IREX to the educational institution.
Applicants can choose courses for retraining or skill enhancement in any field of activity. However, IREX recommends focusing on priority sectors such as agriculture, energy, retail, transportation, and logistics. The selection is not limited to these fields.
