FRECH (the programme title translates into English as "Women seize opportunities", the acronym could also be read as the German word for "bold") is a special programme for working women in Vienna who are looking for a fundamental career change. The waff advisors will support you in the following aspects: 

• developing new job perspectives,

• clarifying the opportunities and risks involved in career changes,

• looking into issues of balancing your career goals and your private environment (e.g. family),

• clarifying if your current qualifications are sufficient for making your new goals materialise,

• helping you to select suitable continuing education and training courses (educational plan).

If the highest level of education you have completed is a three-year VET school or an apprenticeship, the waff may provide a grant of up to € 3,700.- or 90% of course fees for necessary continuing education defined in the educational plan.

The FRECH advisors of the waff will be glad to provide you with information about other prerequisites for your grant.
