Our first Career Training in 2019 took place yesterday. A group of internationals seized the opportunity to receive useful tips for their job applications and got informed about the application processes of the Austrian job market. We want to say a big thank you to our expert, Sigrid Maxl-Studler from the Career Center Universität Graz!

CINT got to know Caritas and the wide range of their services. To know that there are dedicated people who help in need is heartwarming, inspiring and overwhelming. 120 ongoing projects – a wonderful opportunity to volunteer for everyone who is interested! Thank you, Caritas, for such a great experience! 

On Saturday January 26th, 20 people met at the National History Museum to discover the fascinating evolution of live with it´s variety of nature and animals. Did you know that there had been sharks in Styria? The whole country used to be a sea and was connected to the Indian Ocean! ?? After learning about some interesting facts, we ended the forenoon with a get-together in Stadtschenke, where we got a tasty "Brettljause".

Together with the Styrian county government, CINT invited for an information evening about the topic of education after primary school. There are a lot of possibilities to continue your education at the age of ten but it can be very difficult to figure out the right way for a child when you don't even know what all the abbreviations like NMS, AHS, BHS, HTL or HAK mean. Therefore, all participants really appreciated that Caitlin Ahern took her time to clarify and even answered individual questions at the get-together afterwards.

Lack of skilled personnel is very noticeable in Styria and therefore, more and more companies start hiring abroad. This is linked to a couple of questions and new challenges arise every day.
For this very reason, CINT invited Dr. Harald Hanik, head of divisions residence and security of the Styrian county government, and Reg.Rat Klaus Eichberger, team leader of the center of expertise for foreigners of the Styrian labor market service, to discus this topic with almost 40 HR managers.
The number of participants and the animated conversation demonstrated the importance of this topic and therefore, we are looking forward to our next B2B-event.

More than 70 people from all around the world met on a beautiful Saturday morning to discover our city hall and the surrounding areas and to learn some interesting facts about it. Did you know that there were statues of the Habsburgs in the niches between the windows that were destroyed and used to pave the area in front of main station?
To top the tour off we were welcomed by the major of Graz with a beautiful speech in the assembly hall of the local council and invited for great food ad good wines afterwards.

On September 15th we finally came together to visit the chocolate manufactory Zotter. Around 60 internationals weren't able to resist the temptation and prepared themselves for a chocolate overdose. After watching a short and entertaining movie about the company's success story and sustainability, everybody was ready to taste some chocolate. ?
Afterwards, we enjoyed the wonderful sunny weather at the edible zoo.
As we haven't eaten enough, our excursion found its end at the Buschenschank Bernhart, where all our internationals got the chance to taste some delicious Styrian food.
Thank you all for the enjoyable day and we are looking forward to seeing you at our next excursion. ?
