Carinthia stands for practical training with a future.
The dual vocational education system – a combination of school education and practical training in a company – is a successful model that perfectly combines theory and practice.
Apprentices spend part of their training time at vocational school and the other at the company.
In this way, talent is specifically promoted and prepared for the real world of work.
From traditional apprenticeships to “apprenticeship with matriculation examination”, the system offers a variety of career paths.
For companies, this means that they can train their future specialists in-house, with a high chance of long-term retention.

The dual vocational education system in Carinthia offers more than just theory. It is practical, connected, accessible and located in an environment that facilitates development. These are four strengths that give young people real prospects – because they learn for life here.
Vocational school and companies – in Carinthia, the two go hand in hand. The dual vocational education system teaches practical know-how directly in the company, while theory is taught at vocational school. Whether in tourism, healthcare, metal technology, electrical engineering or IT: those who learn here know what everyday working life looks like – and companies can train the specialists of tomorrow in a targeted manner.
