When one thinks of Austria, one usually thinks of mountains, lakes, cultures … and holidays. However, Austria is a country with a highly developed industry – especially in the areas of machine and steel manufacturing, chemistry, vehicle manufacturing, electrical engineering and electronics. Trainees from other countries find a variety of possibilities and chances in Austria.

IFA supports young people and adults from other EU countries who want to do a placement in Austria. During a placement you have the possibility to improve your knowledge of German, get to know the country and the people as well as new working methods and techniques.
