PPD stands for permanent professional development. We assume that all working people would benefit from regularly assessing whether their skills sufficiently match the requirements of the rapidly changing job market.
PPD is suitable for all working people and jobseekers who have some sort of link with the cultural and creative sectors, as well as working people with an employment contract, freelancers and jobseekers.
If you work at a company or organisation which belongs to that sector according to the so-called SBI codes, you will be able to submit a PPD application.
