Employee Support - General Promotion Measures

The program Employee Promotion – General Support Measures in Burgenland supports companies, interest groups, associations, non-profit organizations, as well as public institutions in the creation and operation of forward-looking training facilities. The focus is on the establishment and operation of training workshops, apprentice residences, boarding schools, and training centers that can also be used for inter-company or supra-company qualification. Additionally, measures implemented by employee and employer organizations in the field of vocational schooling, retraining, and further education are supported. Last but not least, providers of housing for employees receive support to optimally accommodate the workforce locally and to strengthen regional skilled labor development.
