StartWien College

The StartWien College (formerly Jugendcollege StartWien) offers newly immigrated youngsters and young adults a tailor-made program that enables them to get started as quickly as possible and achieve lasting success in the Viennese education system.

Through intensive German lessons with a special focus on educational and technical language, expanding English language skills and deepening digital and mathematical skills, StartWien College prepares its participants individually and specifically for a secondary school or a training position (apprenticeship). In addition, course participants have the opportunity to take a state-recognized German exam (ÖIF or ÖSD).

A dedicated team of advisors as well as school and company contacts support and support the young people holistically, individually and professionally. It helps transform the participants' professional dreams into concrete plans and implement them - from career orientation to the application process to follow-up support.    

Depending on individual needs and previous knowledge, young people can flexibly start in one of the six course modules (A1 to B1).

For young people who are already attending secondary school, the offer includes Lernhilfe & Sommercollege Tutoring courses and intensive courses are offered during the summer holidays to support German as a second language.
