Bei der Online-Informationsveranstaltung „Rechtliche Aspekte und steirischer Arbeitsmarkt für internationale Studierende“ haben wir uns eingehend damit befasst, was junge globale Talente erwarten können, wenn sie sich für eine Karriere in der Steiermark entscheiden.
Unter der freundlichen Moderation von Doris Kiendl (Lehrstuhl für Internationales Management & Entrepreneurship der FH Joanneum) und CINT-CEO Veronika Wolf, die durch die Online-Veranstaltung führten und einen dynamischen Dialog zwischen allen Teilnehmern herstellten, brachten unsere Fachreferenten Dr. Harald Hanik (A3) und Mag. a Muna Hamoud-Seifried (AFZ) ihre Perspektiven auf eine Weise zusammen, die den Teilnehmern nicht nur Klarheit, sondern hoffentlich auch Zuversicht verlieh.

Our Christmas Tour through Graz brought our CINT community into full holiday spirit. Wrapped in twinkling lights and sparkling decorations, the city showed itself from its most magical side. And we loved exploring it as a group!
With our fantastic guide Bernhard leading the way, we wandered through Graz’s enchanting streets, discovered charming corners, and learned surprising stories behind local Christmas traditions.
And of course, no Christmas outing would be complete without a cosy get-together: we ended the evening at the Murinsel Christmas market, sharing mulled wine, punch, and lots of cheerful conversations. The perfect setting to slow down, connect, and enjoy the season with our international CINT family.
We hope this tour was the perfect start of your holidays and we look forward to seeing you again soon in 2026!
