„Mein Zuhause im Gemeindebau“ reports on Jugendcollege
"Super, das will ich!" (“Great, I want that!”) – that is the catchy title of the article about our project Jugendcollege StartWien that appeared in the new edition of the magazine „Mein Zuhause im Gemeindebau“ by Wiener Wohnen, that reaches around a quarter of all Viennese people.
Two graduates of the Jugendcollege are presented - Nura from Sudan and Yakub Ali Hassan from Somalia - and their career aspirations: nurse and mechatronics engineer. Our company contact Inge Weller also has her say and reports on how the Jugendcollege supports young people and young adults on their way to school or vocational training.
