New opportunities program: Viennese women receive support with the start of the career!

A groundbreaking program for strengthening Viennese women without vocational training was presented today. The New Women's Labor Foundation Vienna is aimed specifically at women aged 25 and over, especially in difficult professional situations, especially after a baby break. The foundation, which is located at the Viennese worker funding fund (WAFF), offers comprehensive professional orientation and free training opportunities. Women who participate in this program receive an additional 300 euros a month to facilitate the return to the labor market. This offer is initially provided for one year, but with the option for extension and a budget of over 1.7 million euros.

The Viennese City Councilor Peter Hanke emphasized the urgency of this initiative and explained that the risk of unemployment for women without vocational training was three times higher than for their trained colleagues. The support of the women's work foundation is intended to help improve the training and thus the chances of well -paid jobs. According to Hanke, qualified training is the key to better career opportunities. This is also confirmed by an analysis of the "Jobs Plus training" program, which shows that graduates achieve significantly higher incomes and are more often in employment.

planned training initiatives and support measures

The innovative offer of the women's work foundation integrates training programs in promising areas such as climate protection, sustainability and social professions. Underline their efforts to promote women in the world of work by taking extensive measures to improve working conditions. The employment of women in Vienna is 76 percent above the Austrian average, but the challenge to further promise equality remains.
