AMS Rohrbach: Qualification promotion as a solution against a shortage of skilled workers

ROHRBACH-Berg. In times of current shortage of skilled workers, further training and qualification of employees play a central role. To support this, the AMS Rohrbach uses measures in the form of qualification funding that should help the companies to optimally train their workforce.

"The demand for specialists is high and it is becoming increasingly important to train and train the existing employees," explains Doris Steiner, the branch manager of the AMS Rohrbach. Particularly mentioned are opportunities for financing further training programs for employees who did not go beyond the compulsory school and that are 50 years old or older. But also female workers: internally benefit, regardless of their age and their degree. It should be emphasized that in certain cases up to 50 percent of the personnel costs are funded during qualification measures.

The success of these funding measures is also evident in the current labor market numbers in the Rohrbach district: at the end of October, 495 people were reported to work, which corresponds to a remarkably low unemployment rate of only 2 percent. For comparison, the unemployment rate in the whole of Upper Austria is 4.6 percent, which shows that Rohrbach-Berg IMRegional comparison can benefit well and can benefit from the effects of the AMS initiatives. These figures prove the positive development of the labor market and the relevance of further training courses in order to train the necessary specialists of tomorrow.

These initiatives should not be underestimated, especially in an economic environment that is increasingly dependent on well -trained and qualified employees. The targeted promotion of qualification could contribute to the stability and growth of the regional economy in the long term.
