    Record par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on in CVET in Vienna

    Career guidance and support services by waff were increasingly used in 2023. In a recent press conference, waff representatives and clients appeared together with Peter Hanke, City Councillor for Economic Affairs. Günter Hefler was invited as an expert.

    The Vienna labour market is highly dynamic and the number of jobs is incre­a­sing. The demand for skills is high and many employees are opting for voca­tio­nal education and training to improve their prospects on the labour market. The Vienna Employment Promotion Fund (waff) supports people seeking guidance and offers funding oppor­tu­ni­ties for various target groups.

    In 2023, 13,084 employed Viennese were supported in their training and further education acti­vi­ties, 18 per cent more than in the previous year. In total, they received funding amounting to 17.7 million euros, an increase of 45 per cent compared to 2022. In his statement, Günter Hefler empha­sis­ed the important role of waff, which can provide a decisive impetus for people with career change or deve­lo­p­ment aspi­ra­ti­ons to actually implement them.
