Speed Dating as a Jumpstart into the Working World

"Round Table - Open Opportunities": This is the motto of the Job Speed Dating event, which will bring together young job seekers and companies on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Otto-Mauer-Zentrum (Währinger Straße 2-4, 1090 Vienna, left staircase, mezzanine). Participants who face initial difficulties entering the workforce can conduct interviews with renowned companies such as REWE, Wiener Stadtwerke, Sodexo, Magdas Hotel, and Magenta Telekom. Several young people sit with the recruiter of the respective company at a round table, allowing them to present themselves and get to know each other in an informal atmosphere.

Jumpstart for Difficulties in the Job Market

The Job Speed Dating has been organized by "Hands on Mentoring" since 2019. In the past, more than half of the participants received an apprenticeship after the event. Eva Rosewich, head of "Hands on Mentoring": "Every young person has a valuable personality. With the Job Speed Dating, we want to support them in their search for a training or job position. We particularly focus on those who find it difficult to take the step into the job market."

Informal Job Interview at Job Speed Dating

The "Hands on Mentoring" project of the Catholic Action of the Archdiocese of Vienna aims to support teenagers and young people in their search for training and job positions. Currently, 70 mentors from business, politics, and the church accompany young people in their search for a job or apprenticeship and support them in developing their talents. Additionally, "Hands on Mentoring" brings together young people and companies for interviews during the Job Speed Dating.
