CODERS.BAY
Basic programming knowledge is becoming more and more important as digitization progresses. Software developers and people with solid programming skills are therefore more in demand on the labour market than ever! At present, not enough people are being trained in the existing training centres at universities and other higher education institutions to meet the increasing demand on the labour market.
BFI's CODERS.BAY offers an alternative for companies and private individuals. The programme is aimed at people both with and without experience in coding.
The BFI Upper Austria’s metal centres were established in light of the increasing lack of skilled experts within the metalworking industry. The participants are enrolled by the national employment service.
The apprenticeship is in the field of metal engineering. The course’s modular structure allows for on going entries, which means there is a constant stream of qualified personnel being created.
The production school offers support to young people with a lack of competence in basic education, and social as well as personal matters, before theybegin vocational training or further education.
The practical implementation of the production school is geared towards the regional demand, in order to be able to provide relevant high quality support to all young people within the target group.
The BFI Upper Austria currently operates production schools in Gmunden, Mattighofen, Ried and Wels under the name „AusbildungsFit“ (Fit for Training) within the framework of NEBA (network of vocational assistance), an initiative of the Social Ministry Service. We also head production schools based on the Danish model in Kirchdorf, Leonding and Steyr, comissioned by the State of Upper Austria and the AMS Upper Austria.
