Career orientation days in Vienna.
Need a place for your career orientation days (Berufspraktische Tage, “Schnuppern”)? At ACCELERAS in Vienna’s 1st district you get a taste of working in our team: with digital tools and AI, design software and European projects. On top of that come at least 3 thematic workshops on Friday afternoons – and two certificates at the end.
More than just a few taster days
Our programme combines your career orientation days with thematic workshops, so you learn more than a few days alone would allow.
The learning framework agreement
If you are accepted, a parent or guardian signs a learning framework agreement. It sets out the terms and conditions of the programme, including taking part in at least 3 thematic workshops.
Together with EMOTiC and ERASTIUM
We organise our career orientation days in collaboration with EMOTiC and ERASTIUM, the ERASMUS Applied Studies Training Centre in Vienna.
What our workshops look like
You learn by doing: in small groups, through conversation and with hands-on tasks. A few impressions from workshops at our office in Vienna. Open any photo to see it larger.
What you will learn
You won’t just watch: you’ll work with tools you really need at school, in training and at work, and take your own results home.
