Before the seasons (winter/summer) we organize several camps that prepare you for the working world in Austria. Before the camp we provide an online Zoom meeting with the workshop “Living and Working in Tourism” and online German classes.
For the training camp in Tyrol, we meet in one of our member hotels (Sunday to Friday). ATRACT will cover 90% of the costs of the training camp (workshops, German courses, training sessions, etc.), including accommodation and meals.
In the camp we simulate the workflow (for kitchen, service, housekeeping) of the hotels in Austria and give you an insight into the life in Austria in a workshop about integration and personality.
Upon successful completion, you will receive a certificate and become part of the ATRACT community and will be matched to one of our member hotels for your first job in Austria.
German is very important for your life and work in Austria and speaking German makes everything much easier. You don’t have to speak German at the beginning, but basic knowledge of English (A2/B1 Level) is required. We can also switch to English in conversations, so you understand everything. You will get access to online German courses and live courses in the training camps. German courses are also offered in many companies, but it is important that you take care of the language acquisition yourself. We provide tools, but you have to use them!
