More and more flee from the economy into the school class – Diepresse.com
More than 10,000 people have already applied for the transition to school. Half of it was found for suitable. Now the responsible person of the certification commission warns: « The school must not be the pelvis that all catches up. »
Markus is an architect – and also teaches in a HTL. Maria used to be a marketing expert – and is now a vocational school teacher. And Roman used to be a meteorologist-and is now HTL professor. With such stories, the Ministry of Education currently advertises career changers. In view of the rampant lack of teachers, people want to quickly find people for the vacancies in the schools. Without a lengthy degree.
A corresponding personnel initiative was started two and a half years ago. Since then, more than 10,200 career changer applications have been received by the responsible certification commission. In the past two weeks alone, when the ministry’s new personnel call went through the media, 600 applications were added.
About half are suitable
You get a certificate if you have a technically suitable study (at least at a bachelor level) and three years of professional experience and successfully go through the selection process. After that, a post in the normal teacher salary scheme (so far you could only be employed via a significantly lower special contract).
Only about half are found for suitable. A new group of applicants are « economic refugees ».
