Støtteordningen bedriftsintern opplæring Trøndelag 2026

Bedriftsintern opplæring (BIO) is a grant scheme operated by Trøndelag fylkeskommune to co-finance competence-building and training carried out inside businesses. The scheme is documented on the funder's own service page at trondelagfylke.no.

The page states who may apply: the support is open to "bedrifter og enkeltpersonforetak" (businesses and sole proprietorships) that have employees located in Trøndelag. Applicants may apply together where the training measure is shared — "Bedrifter kan søke sammen dersom kompetansetiltaket er felles" (businesses may apply jointly if the competence measure is shared). A business may not run several BIO-funded projects at the same time: "Bedrifter kan ikke delta i flere BIO-finansierte prosjekter samtidig" (businesses cannot participate in several BIO-financed projects simultaneously). A repeat applicant must bring fresh content — a "ny søknad" must "ha nytt faglig innhold" (a new application must have new subject-matter content).

Funding amounts are stated by company size. Small businesses and sole proprietorships (under 50 employees) may receive up to 300,000 kr; medium and large businesses (50 or more employees) may receive up to 500,000 kr. A per-employee cap applies: "Maks støtte per ansatt er kr 100 000" (maximum support per employee is 100,000 kr). The grant is capped at half of eligible costs — "Tilskuddet skal ikke utgjøre mer en 50 % av støtteberettiga kostnader" (the subsidy shall not constitute more than 50% of eligible costs). Eligible costs listed are: employee wages during training; external competence-provider services and course fees; and travel, meals, accommodation and project administration, the latter capped at maximum 10% of total project cost.

Applications are handled on a rolling basis ("løpende"). The page notes a processing cut-off for the year: "For å få behandlet søknaden før jul, må den være innsendt innen 1. desember" (to have the application processed before Christmas, it must be submitted by 1 December). Applications are submitted through the regional management portal at www.regionalforvaltning.no.

Two documents are linked from the page: the BIO guidelines, "Retningslinjer for bedriftsintern opplæring (BIO) Trøndelag 2026" (PDF), and a training-plan template, "Opplæringsplan BIO Trøndelag 2026" (Excel). Named contacts are seniorrådgiver Ola Kjelvik (tel. 414 25 039) and seniorrådgiver Ellen Hoel (tel. 470 24 455).

The state-aid register additionally records stoettetiltaksnummer 1000033152, a registered validity period (varighet) of 2026-01-01 to 2026-12-31, and a stated total budget of 8,000,000 NOK for 2026.
