Occupational Rehabilitation
We're all unique. And so are our offers.
In the framework of Occupational Rehabilitation, we establish what path to a job is the right one for every specific person. To this end, some of our clients require social counselling or psychological help, others need special training courses such as computer courses, some even opt for an entirely new career path.
Out Offers are available all across Austria for people that
- suffer from a physical, cognitive or mental disability AND
- are unemployed or immediately at risk of becoming unemployed.
Our modular Offers are centered around three focal points: Orientation - Coaching - Training
Our Offers
Orientation
A personal plan marks the first step
Occupational Rehabilitation starts with an extended Orientation stage. Our goal is to develop a personal career perspective, that is in tune with your individual skills.
A multi-professional team consisting of rehabilitation coaches, career counsellors, company contactors, physicians, social workers, health coaches and psychologists is always there for our clients. Internships in companies also help with your reorientation.
All our clients develop their own individual career goal. Together, we develop an individual plan for your entry into the work force, which is then used to derive further steps.

Stabilisation and preparation for job or further training
Sound preparation supports self-confidence
Improving one's personal and social skills and obtaining technical competence prepares our clients for direct entry into the workforce or subsequent training.
Training Offers provide our clients with new confidence in their own skills and resources. Additionally, our clients are able to practice everyday work in practical settings such as our internal workshops, cafés and copy shops.
Thanks to our modular system every Client's path can be designed individually.
