Training at the company
Why do companies train?
The Austrian approach:
• The profiles of the different apprenticeship trades are negotiated between the social partners in the Federal Advisory Board
• Administration and competent authority: Economic Chambers act as intermediate bodies between companies and the ministry of economics
• Accompanying support measures: financial incentives, practical training guidelines, selection tools and services for recruitment, trainer academies and networks, services to organise international mobility etc.
Business case return on investment
Challenge: to move from informal arrangements to formal training with recognised qualifications
Catalyst: institutions and governance structure, support to companies
Prerequisites for companies
• Accreditation (examination of the training company) by:
- the apprenticeship offices of AEC in cooperation with
- the Chamber of Labour
Examination
• Authorisation to carry out training according to the Trade, Commerce and Industry Regulation Act
• Equipment suited to teach the relevant competences
• Sufficient number of professionally and pedagogically qualified IVET trainers
Suitability as training company in legal terms
Suitability as training company in terms of corporate conditions
Apprenticeship contract
• forms the basis of the training
• concluded in writing between the apprentice(or, in case of minors, their legal representative) and the training company
• the apprenticeship office examines the data of the apprenticeship contract and the suitability of the training company
Training at the company
• Company-based training curriculum:describes the competences which must be taught in the company
• Activity description:learning outcome-oriented description of the competences acquired by apprentices by the end of their training
• Didactic approach:- training in a day-to-day working environment- under real-life working conditions- involvement of apprentices in the productive work process

=> classes are organized on the basis of individual occupations (sometimes also related occupations)
all-year-round by block
at least on one full school day a week
for at least eight weeks continuously
or
seasonally in block form
Training contents
• occupation-related theory supplementing company-based training
• complementary occupation-related practice• deepening and complementing general
education• subject related foreign language classes
The framework curriculum for each apprenticeship occupation is valid in the whole of Austria.
