HBB - Higher vocational education
Webinar on the Higher Vocational Education and Training Act:
"HBB: What's in it for me?"
On May 28, 2024, the Meister Alumni Club held its first webinar, which focused on the topic "HBB: What's in it for me?". The webinar was not only a successful kick-off for the new webinar series, but also a valuable source of information for those who wanted to find out more about higher vocational education and training (HBB) and its effects. The new law, which has been in force in Austria since May 1, 2024, marks a significant step in the Austrian education landscape.
