Employment Initiative enable:univie

The University of Vienna aims to be an inclusive university with equal chances. An employment initiative to promote workplaces for registered disabled persons ("begünstigt behinderte Personen") was created to strengthen this aim.

The employment initiative enable:unvie wants to strengthen the inclusion of the competencies of people with disabilities within the institution and thus also within society.

The program's central approach is an individual matching process where suitable jobs are found for registered disabled persons at the University of Vienna. In addition to the possibility of applying to existing job postings, there will be the option to strengthen personnel ressources at the organisational units of the University of Vienna with unsolicited applications from registered disabled persons (pilot phase: 1 year). The second focus of the initiative lies in counselling and accompanying the organisational units.

The employment initiative is anchored in the Culture and Equality unit.

Target group

  • Applicants that are registered disabled persons or could receive that status
  • Managers and employees in all organisational units of the University of Vienna

Offer

  • Counselling and accompanying spontaneous applications from registered disabled persons ("begünstigt behindert"). Applications are possible for academic and non-academic positions. Spontaneous applications are only possible for people belonging to this group.
  • Counselling and accompanying the organisational units of the University of Vienna
During the entirety of the hiring process and beyond, the program coordinators of the employment initiative are therefore a point of call for counselling, accompaniment as well as questions around application, hiring and employment.
