The Talentcenter
Talent is a gift. Making something of it is up to you.
Everyone is different. But everyone deserves the chance to be the best that they can be. The Talentcenter of the Styrian Economic Chamber sees itself as an orientation platform which supports young people in schools and training programs: It offers youth assistance in making decisions to find a training program that is both right for them and will lead them to their goals.

The Talentcenter
Internationally Acclaimed
After three successful years and around 18,000 school-aged youth tested, the Talentcenter was named “Best education and training project” by the “International Chamber of Commerce” in Brazil. The Talentcheck is supported by the most modern technologies and, through our cooperation with the University of Graz, offers vocational orientation at the highest scientific level. Thanks to this opportunity, unique in Austria, for students to discover their own interests, talents and potential, the Talentcenter has received international recognition.

To move forwards, you must first know where you stand.
