Description
In Styria, the housing, life, and work training supports disadvantaged youth during the transition and life orientation phase. The goal is sustainable social and professional integration through practice-oriented training modules that promote individual strengths and impart skills in areas such as self-organization, teamwork, and work motivation. The holistic approach combines housing, everyday life management, and work preparation to enable participants to successfully complete vocational training or achieve continuous entry into working life.
Through grants, the program supports non-profit, officially recognized child and youth welfare institutions with an active service contract with the Styrian State Government. Eligible are youths with compulsory school completion aged between 15 and 18 years (in justified exceptional cases up to 21 years) who require intensive support due to deficits in social skills, academic knowledge, emotional stability, work behavior, or dealing with risk-prone life situations. A valid care agreement as well as individual participation capability, which is verified through a case-by-case procedure, are prerequisites for the application. The program is continuously open; applications can be submitted at any time, enabling flexible and tailored funding.
