Adult education centres (Volkshochschule) in Burgenland are conducting a vocational training related project (‘Du kannst was’). Vocational qualification is considered to give the participants new perspectives. Another advantage is the protection of the profession. The main target group is the part of the workforce that has no formal diploma. The project is open for temporary workers that have at least 5 years of experience.
