80 %
The apprentice is in a training relationship with his/her company
and, at the same time, pupil of an occupation-specific part-time
vocational school.
Apprenticeship period
1st app. year
2nd app. year
3rd app. year
4th app. year
Two years: a few apprenticeships
e.g. beautician, clothing producer
Three years: most apprenticeships
e.g. bricklayer, skipper, office assistant, forwarding agent
Four years: a few apprenticeships
e.g. dental technician
Shortening of the apprenticeship period:
• Training in related apprenticeships
• (Related) previous school-based qualifications (such as for
holders of the upper secondary school-leaving certificate, the
apprenticeship period can be shortened by one year)

Why do companies train?
Business case
return on investment
Challenge:
to move from informal arrangements to formal training
with recognised qualifications
Catalyst:
institutions and governance structure, support to
companies
The Austrian approach:
• The profiles of the different apprenticeship trades are negotiated
between the social partners in the Federal Advisory Board
• Administration and competent authority: Economic Chambers act as
intermediate bodies between companies and the ministry of economics
• Accompanying support measures: financial incentives, practical
training guidelines, selection tools and services for recruitment, trainer
academies and networks, services to organise international mobility etc.
Prerequisites for companies
• Accreditation (examination of the training company) by:
- the apprenticeship offices of AEC in cooperation with
- the Chamber of Labour
Examination
Suitability as training
company in terms of
corporate conditions
Suitability as training
company in legal terms
•
Authorisation to carry out
training according to the
•
Trade, Commerce and
Industry Regulation Act
•
Equipment suited to teach
the relevant competences
Sufficient number of
professionally and
pedagogically qualified
IVET trainers
Apprenticeship contract
• forms the basis of the training
• concluded in writing between the apprentice
(or, in case of minors, their legal representative) and
the training company
• the apprenticeship office examines the data of the
apprenticeship contract and the suitability of the training
company
Training at the company
• Company-based training curriculum:
describes the competences which must be
taught in the company
• Activity description:
learning outcome-oriented description of the
competences acquired by apprentices by
the end of their training
uniform
Austria-wide
regulation by
decrees for each
apprenticeship
occupation
• Didactic approach:
- training in a day-to-day working environment
- under real-life working conditions
- involvement of apprentices in the productive work process

Organisation
all-year-round
at least on one full school day a
week
by block
for at least eight weeks
continuously
or
seasonally in block form
=> apprentices are obliged to attend
=> established for groups of apprenticeship occupations (such as
construction, wholesale/retail occupations)
=> classes are organized on the basis of individual occupations
(sometimes also related occupations)
Training contents
general
education
35 %
special
instruction
65 %
• occupation-related theory supplementing
company-based training
• complementary occupation-related practice
• deepening and complementing general
education
• subject related foreign language classes
The framework curriculum for each apprenticeship occupation is valid in
the whole of Austria.
