General Meeting in June: Dina Tojaga from Zebra

This month, the IWA has invited Dina Tojaga to speak to us about her role at the Zebra Center for Intercultural Counseling and Therapy as an AST staff member and how she joined the Zebra team.

AST stands for Anlaufstelle für Personen mit im Ausland erworbenen Qualifikationen (contact point for people who have received qualifications abroad). AST centers like the one at Zebra provide free multilingual advice and support that help people:

• Figure out whether their specific degree or job training needs to be formally recognized in Austria
• Translate their documents into German (and identify funding options) and get their educational certificates recognized
• Receive guidance on the formal process of Nostrifikation (degree recognition) or Gleichhaltung (vocational training equivalence)
• Learn more about additional courses, exams, or specific legal requirements needed to practice their profession in Austria

Does this sound like the help you have been looking for? Then please join us and Dina to learn more. This meeting is dedicated to helping international women get their education and training qualifications recognized to improve their chances on the job market.
