Our mission is to promote lifelong learning in Salzburg. We aim to provide all citizens, regardless of age, background, or educational level, with equal access to high-quality and practice-oriented educational opportunities. Through strategic educational planning and collaborative partnerships with political decision-makers, educational institutions, and the economy, we strengthen individual competencies, social participation, and the innovative capacity of the state of Salzburg.

Target groups

The funding measures of the Adult Education Department are aimed at all adult learners in Salzburg – from career starters and professionals to individuals undergoing transitional phases.

Special emphasis is placed on supporting people with low formal educational qualifications, migrants, and those seeking to reorient their careers.
