Entwicklung und Durchführung von vorbereitenden und unterstützenden Bildungsangeboten im Rahmen der Berufsreifeprüfung, Lehre mit Matura und Studienberechtigungsprüfung

Programme: European Social Fund Project number: EB-2.3-896 Project period: Jan. 2019‒Dec. 2021 Contractor: BFI Salzburg BildungsGmbH

Young people for whom access to secondary education is difficult for a variety of reasons are offered higher qualification options, even after they have completed compulsory schooling and their school careers. This project specifically ad-dresses young people from educationally disad-vantaged groups, with or without an immigrant background; it is aimed at enabling them to ac-quire the prerequisites for obtaining upper sec-ondary school leaving certificates and university entrance qualifications, by means of a preparatory educational package for qualification in the areas of language skills, mathematics, learning strat-egies and personal development. In order to as-sure their success in the subsequent courses, the project also provides free support measures. The objective is to both expand the outreach to the target group and to offer continuous support and assistance to ensure that the participants com-plete the programme. This helps to increase per-meability in the education system and makes it easier to achieve higher qualifications.

Produktionsschule Murtal/Murau

Programme: European Social Fund

Project number: 32455906800384 Project period: Jan. 2019‒Dec. 2019 Contractor: BFI Steiermark

This project addresses young people who need to catch up on basic, social and personal skills. It aims to help them acquire, in an individualised way, the skills they lack so as to make the transi-tion from school to working life easier for them. The project is implemented at two BFI training venues in the province of Styria, Spielberg / Aich-feld (Murtal) and Murau. It consists of three mod-ules: getting started, orientation and training, and specialisation, and rests on four pillars: practical training (with a focus on woodwork at Spielberg / Aichfeld and Murau, and on administration and of-fice work at Spielberg / Aichfeld), coaching, skills workshops (for acquiring basic, IT and life skills), and sport.

Sicher im Alltag, fit für Ausbildung und Beruf

Programme: European Social Fund

Project number: EB-1.4-649-Stmk. Project period: Jan. 2019‒Dec. 2019 Contractor: BFI Steiermark

This basic skills training course at Köflach and Rottenmann (in the province of Styria) aims to build on existing competences of persons in need of basic skills training in a way that makes them feel more confident in coping with everyday life and, after the course, seize other educational op-portunities (above all courses to catch up on com-pulsory schooling), or enter the labour market. Following an orientation phase, the participants hone their learning competences, in order to ac-quire, as autonomously as possible, basic skills in reading, writing, maths and ICT. Practice-oriented consolidation modules, together with intensive educational counselling and career guidance, help the participants choose the training or career path that is right for them.

Standortbestimmung von jungen Flüchtlingen sowie in weiterer Folge Basisqualifizierung dieser Zielgruppe für die Heranführung an eine Lehrausbildung und/oder Erreichung des Pflichtschulabschlusses

Programme: European Social Fund Project number: 2018-0013-LRGVBG Project period: May 2019‒Aug. 2022 Contractor: BFI der AK Vorarlberg GmbH

This project is geared to young refugees aged be-tween 15 and 25 who are neither in education and training nor in employment. They are to obtain their compulsory school leaving qualification so that after this programme they can start voca-tional education and training. Being referred to the programme by the Public Employment Service, participants go through a three-month introductory phase. It is then decided whether they are ready to join the 60-week training programme or whether they need to attend a preparatory course first. In the modular training programme the par-ticipants cover the examination subjects that are required for completing compulsory schooling and a German language course (levels A2 to B1). They also receive extra tutoring and one-to-one coaching. Besides, a recruiter is involved in the project and organises work placements in enter-prises. Altogether four cycles of the training pro-gramme are offered.
