The President of the Styrian Economic Chamber Josef Herk, the Vice-Presidents Benedikt Bittmann and Andreas Herz, and Director Karl-Heinz Dernoscheg and Deputy Director Peter Hochegger have recently given the green light for the launch of the social media campaign “BE PART OF IT”.

“The goal of this action is to motivate as many famous Austrian personalities, idols and heroes as possible to support Austria’s bid to host EuroSkills2020”, says Josef Herk. Young people, as an important target group of EuroSkills, are the key to success. The fact that large numbers of young people love following great Austrian idols is what convinces us that we can motivate many of them to take an interest in this challenging competition”, agree Vice-Presidents Benedikt Bittmann and Andreas Herz.

The Director of the Styrian Economic Chamber, Karl-Heinz Dernoscheg, is enthusiastic: “I am convinced that we will succeed in our bid to host this great event in Graz by winning over the jury. The more LIKES we get by 20th April, the better.

We invite you to BE PART OF IT and LIKE us at www.facebook.com/euroskills2020 .“ “We see it every day and have it confirmed thousands of times: the dual vocational system in Austria works well. It’s no coincidence that more than 400,000 participants (!) take part in programmes offered by the Institute for Professional Advancement (WIFI) every year. It goes without saying: we are confident of winning the EuroSkills bid”, adds Deputy Director of the Styrian Economic Chamber, Peter Hochegger.

WE ARE SKILLS!
