The Regional Centres of the European Social Fund are a nationwide network of institutions that work for local development through animation of activity, training, dissemination of information and advice leading to the establishment of intersectoral partnerships.
ESF centres also foster the creation and implementation of projects dedicated to specific social problems identified in the area of a given municipality or sub-region in terms of the possibility of solving these problems using ESF funds.
We guarantee you comprehensive, effective and professional support. The centre is run by a team of experienced experts from the Rudzki Business Incubator and the Association of NGOs „MOST”.
Rudzki Inkubator Przedsiębiorczości has been operating since 2005 as part of the National Service System. It specialises in training, information and advisory services. The Incubator develops and implements projects, provides training for people seeking a new professional identity and promotes individual entrepreneurship.
The MOST Association ran the Regional ESF Centre in 2007-2008 for the whole of the Silesian Voivodeship.
