The Ministry of Education has advertised 6,821 teaching positions or around 4,500 full-time equivalents with 100,000 teaching hours for the 2024/25 school year. The main application deadline ends on May 3rd. You can apply via a central platform (www.klassejob.at).
This means that a similar number of new educators are being sought as in the previous year. In spring 2023, 6,846 positions were advertised. They were all filled – including with teacher training students and career changers. Yesterday, Education Minister Martin Polaschek (VP) expressed confidence that he would be able to fill all open teaching positions this year.
