The introduction of new training occupations in Austria has turned out to be an effective strategy to overcome the acute shortage of training places. In autumn 1998 alone, 1,000 new training enterprises with 1,600 additional training places could be achieved through 23 new training occupations created since 1997.
Some of the new training occupations, e.g. EDP technician (m/f), EDP clerks and media clerks, are to be found in the EDP and multimedia sectors with good future prospects. Other new occupations are planned in information technology and telecommunications engineering. Austria intends to continue with the development of new occupations in the future. At the same time, the country faces the task of modernizing its apprenticeship system in order to keep pace with current economic developments. Source: abf-austria/CEDEFOP/SK |
