New MINT laboratory in Lienz: Secure education for the digital future!

Lienz, Österreich - A new milestone for education in East Tyrol: On February 26, 2025, an innovative MINT laboratory was opened at the Tyrolean Facelport School Lienz! With an investment of 80,000 euros, including the Tyrolean state government, the Tyrol Commerce Chamber and the EU, a state -of -the -art institution is now available. The laboratory combines traditional craft with the latest digital technologies, including cyber-craft, artificial intelligence and mixed reality. This combination offers young people the opportunity to gain practical experience and prepare them optimally for the requirements of the labor market, such as "https://www.osttirol-heute.at/wirtschaft/neues-lab-in-lienz-eroeffnet/"> osttirol-heute.at reports.

The MINT LAB is not only intended for the 270 pupils of the vocational school, but also accessible to all interested young people in East Tyrol. Councilor of Education Cornelia Hagele emphasizes that the expansion of the MINT formation is decisive in order to promote future specialists for digital professions. The project aims to develop Tyrol into a leading MINT state by 2025. The workshops in the laboratory should arouse interest in innovative technologies and support the regional economy. Johann Kollreider, district office manager of the Chamber of Commerce, emphasizes that 54 % of the East Tyrolean employees work in the manufacturing sector. This makes it clear that further training in the MINT subjects has the highest priority, as tirol.orf.at reported.

The new facility not only opens up new perspectives for the students, but also combines the tradition of craft with the new challenges of digitization. The MINT LAB will play a central role in the gradual development of the Tyrolean MINT regions and pave the way for future innovations. In small groups, the students are trained in practice -oriented projects to develop creative solutions and to experiment with technologies such as artificial intelligence. This is an important step for the region and a sign of commitment, to promote digital transformation in the craft and training.
