New program helps 400 employees in the crisis: take opportunities!

In the past few weeks, a new support for job seekers has become established, which is of enormous importance in the course of the emerging corporate insolvencies in Austria. The newly founded labor foundation is intended to help people without a job get back on their feet. According to orf.at , a job hub is launched for this purpose, which affects those affected directly to new employers before they are even terminated. Economic State Councilor Markus Achleitner (ÖVP) found that this measure aims not only on the automotive industry, but also on small and medium -sized companies. A total of 4 million euros are available for the support of up to 400 people.

innovative solutions for job seekers

In order to make the transition for dismissed employees efficiently, these work foundations are promoted by a model of outplacement offers. These foundations offer professional support for people who lose their position on the basis of a corporate bankruptcy or massive personnel loss, according to the explanations of oegb.at . The measures include professional orientation, training and further education as well as financial support for additional training costs. The Austrian labor market service (AMS) bears up to 60 percent of the costs for these initiatives.

focus on individual qualification

Another important aspect are the implacement foundations that have existed since 2002 and offer unemployed in targeted qualifications for certain bodies. These initiatives are particularly relevant in industries with a high shortage of skilled workers, where vacancies have to be filled faster. The companies are required to take over practical training shares and to take over the participants after successfully completed training. Not only the labor market is supported, but also the individual professional perspective of the participants is significantly improved.
