Master exams in Austria: record numbers despite a shortage of skilled workers!
In Austria, the number of successfully completed master and qualification tests has increased significantly in recent months. From October 2023 to September 2024, 5,230 people successfully passed these demanding exams, which corresponds to an impressive plus of six percent compared to the same period last year. According to the chairwoman of the federal division trade and craft in the WKÖ, Renate Scheichelbauer-Schuster, this is an encouraging sign of the economy, especially in economically challenging times, as from WKO .
The Master Alumni Club as a key to networking
Another success factor is the master Alumni Club (Mac), which was founded in October 2023 and has already counted over 2,700 members from 102. This club promotes the exchange and visibility of entrepreneurs in a wide variety of industries and has already offered numerous events in its first year. The members of the Mac, who are between 20 and 92 years old, benefit from special offers and an extensive network, which underlines the importance of qualifications in today's working world. Scheikelbauer-Schuster commented on this as a significant step in the fight against the shortage of skilled workers.
In summary, it can be said that the increasing number of graduates in master and qualification tests indicate not only the individual performance of the graduates, but also the supportive programs and the increasing appreciation of craftsmanship in Austria. This trend could be crucial for the future development of the Austrian labor market.
