Rooted in the continental European tradition of apprenticeships and craft qualifications, education and training are among the advantages when it comes to doing business in Austria.
Quality technical staff have been assured by a well-established, German-style, on-the-job training system, awarding qualifications only after candidates demonstrate genuine ability to perform. And the ingrained system of secondary vocational education in the school system has ensured a steady flow of young people into apprenticeships with companies.
