Fees & reimbursements
More and more employers and unions recognize the importance of personal development. There is a good chance your collective labor agreement (CAO) includes a personal development or training budget. This amount is reserved by your employer and can, upon agreement, be used for coaching or career counseling. You can find your CAO online or request it from your HR manager. Bring it with you to our first meeting so we can explore the possibilities together.
In many cases, (part of) the trajectory can be reimbursed by your employer. The personal development budget (POB), also called individual development budget (IOB) in some CAOs, is an annual amount available for individual development. This budget may be used for coaching, guidance, or therapeutic treatment.
