For firms and companies using the latest technologies and modern equipment or changing their activity profile, this is a unique chance at the expense of the state to ensure retraining in labor professions or to improve the qualifications of employees in order to master modernized equipment, manufacture higher-quality products, or provide effective services to the population.
