Too little, too expensive, too expensive – these are just two of the arguments with which critics argue for the abolition of the educational leave. During the negotiations between Blau-Schwarz, the training and training break paid by the AMS is now confronted with the abolition. A fact that many questions ensure the labor market service.
“Education and further education are important, but it has now become chic and modern that young, well-trained students have the idea to take the educational leave after a year because the girlfriend is also in educational leave- that takes a bit with Wolfgang Greil , the director of the Economic Association of Upper Austria, said a partial organization in January 2024, “lack of willingness to perform” and spoke about a “bad habit”.
More than a year later, the Educational Leave-Valhans threatens if it is possible for a new federal government after the savings plans were presented a few weeks ago in the course of the Blue-Black Coalition negotiations. Above all, that parental leave was expanded with the educational leave and that less targeted courses were booked to reach AMS funds with the least possible effort.
The end of the room in the room leaves many who had speculated with the educational leave that waves get up – especially the AMs are stormed with questions. “We have many questions about what could come and is planned,” confirms Iris Schmidt, director of the Oberösterreich Labor Market Service. And further: “But we have the subject we don’t know. We don’t know a schedule, we don’t even know if the government is coming.
Using is brought forward
What Schmidt and her team have already found: some use that the range of educational leave could no longer exist in a few months, their training breaks rather than originally planned. “So far, many in the fall have always been in educational leave, because many courses have also started. Now you notice that some people just try to give it a preference, “says Schmidt,” it is noticeable nervousness “.
Employees and employers register with the labor market service. “The search for alternatives is active if the educational leave should no longer exist,” says the AMS-Oö managing director. Also in the upper Austria there was an increased influx of educational leave from 2022 to 2024.
