Subject knowledge alone won’t get you there anymore.

Whether you want to found a company, go freelance or build a corporate career, the skills that set you apart are not always taught in a lecture hall.

That’s why we built SkillsLAB: a free, one-semester program where you build your own workshop curriculum around hard, soft, and personal skills.

Here’s what you get:

🎯 Workshops that fit your plans. Pick three workshops that interest you most, some hosted at partners like BOKU:BASE & Technology Transfer, Technische Universität Wien and Teach For Austria.

🤝 A community. Kick off together on November 2nd and get to know other students.

🎓 A certificate. Celebrate on January 13th, 2027 and add it to your CV and LinkedIn.

The best part: it costs nothing.

👉 Apply until October 27th (EOD), Link in Bio
