New Tool from BiWi Aims to Ease Career Choice for Young People

"Where should my career journey go? What educational paths are open to me? What can I do and what do I want?" The Career Information Center of the Vienna Economy (BiWi) has been supporting young people in this important decision for over 30 years and now offers an innovative new feature: In addition to the proven interest profile for young people, parents or other trusted individuals can now also create a profile and provide their personal assessment of the young person's interests. A comparison profile is created from both perspectives, making possible differences or similarities visible. The subsequent counseling session is intended to help young people make good decisions and get a step closer to their desired profession.

Support in Career Choice by Parents

The new offer promotes communication within the family, creates a better understanding of each other, and facilitates the exchange of future plans. "The comparison profile contrasts the perceptions of parents and young people and helps both sides to more clearly exchange views on educational and career aspirations. Especially before the end of compulsory schooling, many young people face important decisions. With this new approach, parents can support their children even more specifically," emphasizes Roland Schojer, head of BiWi. The targeted interest matching provides clarity in educational and career choices. This offer is only available in this form at BiWi.

Counseling Appointment at BiWi

The new comparison profile is free and exclusively available as part of a personal counseling appointment at BiWi: Appointments can be made at 01 514 50-6528.
