INTEGRATION COACHING for highly qualified migrants
Project
Integration coaching for highly skilled migrants
There are a significant number of highly skilled migrants living in Carinthia, all of whom are potential employees for the Carinthian labour market.
The project ‘Integration coaching for highly skilled migrants’ aims to help these migrants increase their chances of successfully integrating into both the labour market and Austrian society, by focusing on the following areas:
• German in preparation for the B1 Integration Examination
• German in preparation for the language examination C1
• Finding your career vision
• Intercultural competence development in the European, and especially the Austrian, context.
• Individual coaching on any of the above-mentioned fields

End of project: 28. November 2020
Project team: SIETAR Austria team in cooperation with the degree program Intercultural Management, the year of 2018, Carinthia University of Applied Sciences.

Social Integration
Integration through sport
Sport connects people – it is an easy way to get closer to the locals. The most popular sports in Austria are swimming, running, hiking, biking and skiing. If you prefer team sports, football and ice hockey are the most common ones in Austria
Carinthia’s events and festivals calendar
Another wonderful opportunity to socialize with locals is to attend events and festivals. It helps to strengthen the bond between co-workers, friends and acquaintances and to meet new people.
Language Integration
Language and Integration
Speaking German proficiently is important in order to integrate successfully into Austrian society. The Austrian Integration Funds website states that third-country nationals, who want to receive a permanent residence title, have to learn German within two years of entering Austria, the principles of democratic structure and the related values of the legal system and social system (www.integrationsfonds.at).
Please find here a list of useful links with information, material and exercises to help you prepare for the necessary Integration Exams.
