For which

FYI List of in-house training for which we plan to start recruiting in September.


What's the function of "for which" in this sentence?

How do we paraphrase this without "for"?

Would you mind to help?

FYI List of in-house training for which we plan to start recruiting in September. Your example seems somewhat infelicitous, since one would not normally be recruiting for a list of in-house training. Where did you find it?
