In order to make more qualified personnel available to the domestic labor market, the job portal karriere.at supports the non-profit programming school 42 Vienna.
Vienna (OTS) – There are currently over 4,000 open positions in the “IT, IT” professional field on karriere.at. This puts it in second place among the areas of activity in which the most employees are sought in this country. In order to counteract the shortage of IT specialists, the 42 Vienna programming school was opened in October 2022 based on the international model. With support from the private sector and social partners, 42 Vienna enables free training of IT talents, regardless of their previous school and professional career. The location in Vienna-Döbling currently offers 295 students space for development and networking.
Rosemarie Pichler, Managing Director of 42 Vienna: “42 Vienna pursues the mission of modern IT training for the requirements of the 21st century and wants to not only democratize the traditional education system, but revolutionize it. With the disruptive learning model, which does not require teachers, books and formal entry requirements, 42 Vienna brings people into digital careers who have not previously identified with it or have not had a chance for it. Our partnership with karriere.at enables us to work together to create an innovative educational and working world that has a positive impact on the Austrian labor market.
“
Markus Hinterleitner, Chief Technology and Product Officer at karriere.at: “As an IT company, we know first-hand the challenges of recruiting suitable employees. In this environment, where change is the norm and further development often happens extremely quickly, the training of young specialists must not be rigid and lag behind. We are convinced that the concept of 42 Vienna fits the requirements of the 21st century and is a successful model. It not only corresponds to the idea of innovation in our industry, but also to the idea that everyone, regardless of criteria such as previous experience, financial resources or cultural background, should have the opportunity to enter a professional field with great future prospects.
