Who are entitled to the retraining allowance?
Retraining allowance is only available for the unemployed taking a full-time placement-tied course with duration longer than a week. Mixed mode courses are considered as full-time courses in this respect. Trainees must attend no less than 80% of the classes to be eligible. The total allowance is calculated based on two factors: the actual number of training sessions the trainee has attended and the number of days in terms of full-day training.
