Salzburg's new welcome center: Welcome specialists!

In Salzburg, when a new "welcome center" is founded, a crucial step towards promoting skilled workers is taken. As the ORF , the central point of contact is intended to support professionally qualified migrants who want to work in Salzburg. The aim is to significantly reduce complex bureaucratic hurdles, such as the recognition of foreign certificates and the acquisition of residence titles. In the first three years, the focus will be on the sectors of health and nursing as well as information and communication technologies. For this purpose, language courses are also offered to facilitate social integration. The welcome center is positioned in the historic Kaigasse and operated together by the city and state of Salzburg.

The need for this initiative is underlined by the new “Salzburg 2030 location strategy”, which as the state government announced , Salzburg as one of the best economic regions of Europe. Governor Wilfried Haslauer emphasizes that the future of the region lies in the successful recruitment and commitment of specialists. It is also emphasized that Salzburg's prosperity, especially in the winter -shaped winter, must be secured by innovative solutions and investments. In order to achieve this, not only should the individual skills and inclinations of the workers be promoted, but also a clever immigration policy and a better connection of all regions to public transport and data highways.

The challenges are clearly outlined: The age development of the population could have a negative impact on the economy if it is not countered in time. Together, the city and state of Salzburg want to rely on the multi -layered strengths of the region and further increase the quality of life and the professional opportunities. This strategy aims to make the city and the surrounding area even more attractive for highly qualified specialists and to promote sustainable tourism that is in harmony with the needs of nature.
