JŠRIPS is the Slovenian state fund that administers publicly funded scholarships (Zois, deficit-occupation, Ad futura, sectoral lines), co-finances workforce-development programs for SMEs and individuals (KOC 4.0, ASI+, SPIN 2.0, PI, Kompetentna Slovenija), promotes disability employment through quota management and wage subsidies via the SVZI.Net electronic platform, guarantees worker rights (unpaid wages, holiday pay, severance) when an employer becomes insolvent or is struck off the court register, pays child maintenance replacement when an obliged parent defaults, and recovers international maintenance claims under EU regulations.
