Integration Service for Professionals
The Austrian Integration Fund (ÖIF) promotes stronger networking among all organisations involved in the field of professional integration of migrants through measures such as the expert forum on the integration of qualified immigrants and key workers, which is held many times a year. The availability of national and international studies should encourage the continued development of collaborative measures.
Expert Forum for Qualified immigrants and Key Workers
The expert forum, which began in 2022, brings together the experience of key organizations to support the long-term integration of foreign professionals and qualified immigrants in Austria.
More than 30 organisations, such as the Austrian Business Agency (ABA), Chamber of Labour (AK), Public Employment Service (AMS), AST positions, Club International (CINT), Association of Industrialists (IV), Vienna Employees' Promotion Fund (WAFF), Austrian Chamber of Commerce (WKO), and numerous other organizations and experts from all over Austria, are represented in the expert forum.
The expert forum's goal is to foster networking among all actors, obtain fresh insights into labour market integration or the potential for skilled workers in Austria through current national and international research programmes, and collaborate on future initiatives.
