Educational Cooperation with Eastern and South-Eastern Europe at the Pre-University Level

Our neighbouring countries in South Eastern Europe are important partners for Austrian companies. Through our joint vocational education and training projects with the OeAD, we create opportunities and prospects for young people and companies. In this way, we contribute to the further development of the vocational education and training system and to securing skilled labour locally. After all, highly qualified skilled workers with practical vocational training are indispensable for the economy.
