In a world dominated by the need for skilled workers, which is constantly changing, the development of every single talent is more important than ever. You should discover your own talents from an early age. Here you can see how this works and how the BFI can help.

She stands fascinated at a work box and watches as a piece of metal pipe is soldered to another. Her eyes light up. Then she is allowed to try it out for herself and is thrilled - she would never have thought that manual work could be so exciting. Now she is thinking about pursuing a career in this field.

Scenes like this are played out in workshops and training courses offered by BFI Burgenland as part of its talent promotion program. The BFI currently spans the spectrum from elementary school through secondary school to vocational training for adults.

Promoting talent for your own future
The objectives to be achieved are complex: the BFI counteracts demographic change and creates access to professions that are and will be particularly affected by the strong demand for skilled workers. This access can only be achieved if the focus is on experiencing and learning about job profiles. Children and adults should be inspired by practical exercises combined with knowledge for a profession that they might not otherwise choose. Promoting talent therefore also means broadening the professional spectrum and creating enjoyment in sectors in which, ideally, an interesting and secure job awaits them in their own region at the end of their training.

According to current studies, there is still a particularly high demand for skilled workers in skilled trades and in the technology and IT sector, in the medical and care sectors, as well as in the catering and tourism industries.

Start at an early age
In order to create an opportunity for children to come into contact with professions in these sectors as early as possible, BFI Burgenland starts its workshops in primary and secondary schools. In the techNiki career boxes, children can actively produce a workpiece and try out different trades. Companies have the opportunity to present themselves and recruit the skilled workers of tomorrow.

The Mobita talent check is on the go in secondary schools and grammar schools. Pupils not only test their skills at mobile stations, but also learn about their career options. For BFI Burgenland, discovering and promoting talent not only means recognizing people with their abilities, skills, interests and enthusiasm, but also training and supporting them until they reach the workplace. A job that is also fun - for them and for the company.
