Ready for the future: Where do you go after compulsory school?

Experience career guidance up close: On October 7 2026, the large sports hall in Alt Erlaa once again opened its doors, transforming into a vibrant hub for exploring future career opportunities. Around 300 students from FMS 23 took the opportunity to find out more about apprenticeships and work placements directly from 60 renowned participating companies.

We were also delighted to take part with our Interreg AT-HU project DigiUp NEXT! Our team from the European Office of the Board of Education supported the young people in exploring their career options and provided valuable tips for their next steps – with a particular focus on IT careers and digital skills for the future.

Enthusiastic young people, committed organisations and plenty of new perspectives: That’s what successful career guidance looks like!
