Jobs in Austria: City of Vienna seeks 21,000 new employees
As many public servants retire, the Austrian capital is now seeking people to fill the gap - but companies throughout the country are also holding events and open days. Here's what you need to know.
Austria's capital Vienna is looking to fill 21,000 positions by 2030, as many workers from older generations retire, and the government will start a major advertising campaign to attract new talent, mayor Michael Ludwig and personnel city councillor Jürgen Czernohorszky (both SPÖ) said on Friday.
According to Ludwig, there are "various" possible fields of work. For example, employees are sought in the government's social, technical and digital areas.
Currently, the City of Vienna employs around 67,000 people - not all of them need to be Austrian citizens. Due to the high demand, the capital will organise its own "job fair" for the first time.
