Why Austria?
Austria offers more than beautiful landscapes and historical backdrops. Above all, employees benefit from innovative companies as well as an outstanding social security system and medical care. In addition, the strong business location Austria stands out thanks to its excellent quality of life, not least because of the diverse range of cultural and leisure activities.
Which language skills are required?
The language skills required depend on what industry you are in. Specifically in the ICT industry, where there is currently the greatest demand for employees, not knowing German is not an obstacle. In fact, a good knowledge of English is enough. There are numerous examples of Austrian companies, large and small, that have English as their official company language. Most of them are companies that are multi-cultural and that mostly work on the international market.
Of course, knowledge of the local language, no matter where you are, greatly facilitates everyday life, but it is by no means crucial for living and working in Austria. Many companies invest in the education of their employees, including learning the German language.
