IEC Austria activities and trainings aim to encourage, challenge, inspire, and empower the participants to develop leadership skills and personal capacity; enhance their employability and entrepreneurship; and pursue a healthy lifestyle. Throughout the years, IEC Austria has built a strong network with associations in different sectors, schools, and social enterprises that has created various placement and volunteering opportunities for young people living in Austria and has worked on various projects funded by the European Commission in recent years.
