Missions of the organisation:
The aim of the Human Resource Development Authority of Cyprus is to create the prerequisites for the planned and systematic training and development of Cyprus's human resources, at all levels and in all sectors, for meeting the economy's needs, within the overall national socio-economic policies.

The HRDA is a semi-government organisation and the national agency for human resource development, responsible for the assessment of the economy's needs with respect to human resource development, for setting priorities with respect to meeting these needs, and for planning, promoting and co-ordinating activities so as to ensure that these needs are met; also for dividing training costs more equitably amongst employers.

Target public:
All employees in enterprises in the private sector, from top managers to unskilled workers, can participate in training courses approved of and subsidised by the HRDA and implemented by public and private training institutions. All employers, exempting the government in its capacity as an employer, pay a training levy, at present at 0,5% of their payroll, to the Human Resource Development Fund operated by the HRDA.
