TechAK – Technische Akademie für den Automobilcluster in Serbien

Room for regional and personal development

Access to higher qualifications and better opportunities in the job market always sets the stage for two goals: It enhances the well-being of local people and contributes to the economic and social development of a region. Based on this foundation, the Technical Academy (TechAK) for the Serbian automotive cluster was established – funded by the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) – in close collaboration with regional companies. This made it possible to provide the local population with precisely this access to higher qualifications and better opportunities in the job market. Ensuring that every person has a job.
