JA Alumni Austria

Am 22. Mai fand der jährliche Höhepunkt des Junior-Jahres statt: der Wiener Landeswettbewerb im WIFI Wien Die Juniorenfirmen mussten bei diesem Wettbewerb vier Aufgaben bewältigen: einen Geschäftsbericht erstellen, den Bericht beantworten, in einem Juryinterview Fragen zu wirtschaftlichem Wissen und unternehmerischer Erfahrung beantworten, Verkaufsgespräche an ihrem selbst gestalteten Messestand führen und ihr Unternehmen in einer vierminütigen Präsentation vorstellen. Den ersten Platz belegte "Rebloom", ein Unternehmen, das sich auf die Produktion von Trockenblumensträußen aus geretteten Restblumen spezialisiert hat, und erhielt ein Preisgeld von 400 Euro. Der zweite Platz ging an "Little Chefs", die Kindergeburtstage für Kinder im Alter von 6 bis 12 Jahren organisierten, bei denen die Kinder unter Anleitung frische Pizza oder selbstgemachte Pasta zubereiten konnten. Sie erhielten ein Preisgeld von 300 Euro. Der dritte Platz wurde von "Lampenfieber" belegt, die formschöne Flaschen in nachhaltige Lampen verwandelten und dafür 200 Euro erhielten. Zudem wurde ein Sonderpreis für Nachhaltigkeit an "Paperihoch2" vergeben, die anpflanzbare Geschenkanhänger herstellten. Im Namen von Junior Achievement Austria und JA Alumni Austria möchte wir uns auch bei der Wirtschaftskammer Wien, insbesondere bei Herrn Ralf Artner für die tatkräftige Unterstützung und die zur Verfügung gestellten Räumlichkeiten für diese Projekte bedanken. Wir möchten uns auch bei unserer Jury bedanken, die sich die Zeit genommen hat, jedes Unternehmen zu bewerten!

🌟 Inspiring Tomorrow's Leaders 🌟 Last Monday, April 15, 2024, marked a milestone as the inaugural Inspire Event, in collaboration with Junior Achievement Austria, unfolded at the Vienna Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Proudly part of the european initiative "Re-Power Your Future," spearheaded by the UniCredit Foundation and JA Europe, this event was designed to ignite the passion and purpose of transitioning youth from secondary education into apprenticeships or further schooling. Gathering 80 bright minds from selected secondary schools across Vienna, the afternoon was enriched with invaluable insights. Margot Leithner-Hofbauer, Apprenticeship Officer at UniCredit Bank Austria AG, generously shared real-world application tips, accompanied by Dilshaan Singh Thind, a first-year apprentice at Bank Austria, who candidly recounted his journey through the application process. In the latter part of the program, youth ambassador to the european union Ali Mahlodji took the stage, whose keynote stirred hearts and emboldened spirits. As a refugee and former school dropout, Ali's life narisrves as a beacon of hope, illustrating the transformative power of belief in one's potential and the courage to forge one's path with unwavering self-assurance. A heartfelt thank you extends to all involved in orchestrating this resounding success. Together, we pave the way for a future brimming with inspired, resilient leaders ready to embrace their journeys with boundless determination. #InspireEvent #YouthEmpowerment #JAAlumniAustria #JAAustria #RepowerYourFuture

Last weekend, I had the privilege of participating in the National Coordinators Meeting (NCM) organized by JA Alumni Europe and JA Alumni Estonia in Tallinn, Estonia. 🇪🇪 The NCM serves as a platform where Alumni Leaders from various European countries come together to exchange ideas, deliberate on new initiatives, and strategically plan projects that will positively impact our local networks. It's all about fostering innovation, camaraderie, and unity among Alumni Leaders across Europe. 💪🤝 During this dynamic gathering, we engaged in thought-provoking discussions, brainstormed creative solutions, and departed with a well-defined vision for the future. The enthusiasm and passion in the room were truly inspiring! 🚀 It's not just about personal growth; it's about elevating our local JA Alumni networks and making a lasting impact. The knowledge and experiences gained at NCM are the seeds that will sprout into new opportunities for every Austrian Alumni and alumni across Europe. 🌱 I extend my heartfelt gratitude to JA Alumni Europe and JA Alumni Estonia for bringing us together, providing a platform for meaningful discussions, and fostering these connections. 🙏 I am eagerly looking forward to witnessing the incredible projects that will emerge from this meeting and sharing them with the global community.
