Jobs PLUS Training – Funding Agreement enables Viennese companies and service providers, together with the Vienna Employees’ Promotion Fund (waff), to offer approximately 2,400 training positions with integrated job guarantees annually. Between 01.01.2026 and 31.12.2026, placement foundations will be established across various sectors – from municipal public services to climate-relevant professions, digitalization, and other key areas. Through collaboration in the form of sectoral cooperations, the program specifically addresses Vienna’s skilled labor needs. Service providers handle the operational execution of the training, while waff, as the funding body, supports and accompanies the entire process through funding agreements.

The grant is provided as a direct subsidy and requires the implementation of the project in accordance with the contractual agreements (funding agreement).
