Home care training for displaced Ukrainians

The care sector in Austria faces significant staffing shortages. Simultaneously, Ukrainians want to enter the labour market and are interested in the care profession. Yet, access to training and entry into this field are limited. The project resolves healthcare staff shortages and provides displaced Ukrainians with access to high-demand jobs in Austria’s labor market.

Yet, access to training and entry into this field are limited. The project resolves healthcare staff shortages and provides displaced Ukrainians with access to high-demand jobs in Austria’s labor market. 

The target group is Ukrainians with displaced status living in Vienna or Lower Austria. Through a comprehensive support framework, we ensure dialogue with the participants before and during the course. We also established an alumni network to ensure that we remain in contact with the participants after they complete the course.

The home care training program includes language support alongside the training and language courses. This comprehensive approach ensures that participants successfully complete the program. As of now, 92% of participants have completed it. With this training, they can integrate into the Austrian labor market in a high-demand job. 

Our educational concept of integrated language learning and professional training can be easily transferred to other target groups. It is also transferable to other professions or regions.
