The healthcare, care and rehabilitation sector will continue to expand in the future. What role does educational counselling and career guidance play in this context and what requirements are made on the staff?
The quality of apprenticeship training is a topic which creates positive associations, can be accepted by everyone, and at the same time comprises issues for discussions and conflictive themes.
Findings of a comparative study in six European countries.
A large number of people with a migration background live and work in Austria. Their foreign language know-how and intercultural competences constitute valuable resources for entry into new markets. Only rudimentary findings or data are available so far on whether and to what extent these competences are also used.
What are the obstacles (such as command of German, vocational qualification, etc.) from the viewpoint of companies that mean these competences cannot be used at all or are used insufficiently? How difficult is it to recruit people with a migration background and relevant competences needed by the companies on the labour market? A topical ibw study knows the answers to these questions.
Wherever an empirically founded “model for future dual training” is needed, demographics and the labour market therefore need to be analysed in depth.
