BS-Evita

What BS-Evita does

BS EVITA (Berufsschule für Elektro-, Veranstaltungs- und Informationstechnik Austria) is a public vocational school (Berufsschule) located at Mollardgasse 87, 1060 Vienna, operating under the authority of the Bildungsdirektion Wien within Austria's dual vocational education system (duale Ausbildung). The school delivers theoretical and practical instruction to apprentices in five trade categories: Applikationsentwicklung/Coding (4 years), Elektrotechnik (3.5–4 years), Informationstechnologie – Betriebstechnik (4 years), Informationstechnologie – Systemtechnik (4 years), and Veranstaltungstechnik (3.5 years). Programs combine classroom teaching with specialized IT and electrical laboratories (max 11 students per group) and prepare apprentices for the Lehrabschlussprüfung (LAP) final exam, with optional Berufsmatura support.

The school's technology infrastructure comprises standard educational platforms — Web Untis (timetabling/class register), Eduvidual (learning platform), KUS (online platform), Sokrates (administration), and an internal Intranet — alongside specialized physical lab facilities. In 2025, BS EVITA launched the "Knowledgebase," a student-driven digital learning platform that won the Bildungsdirektion Wien's Schulwettbewerb "150 Jahre Otto Glöckel." Since 2022, it has participated in the Sparkling Science "Recycling Heroes" research initiative with TU Wien's Institute of Automation Technology and industry partner beeproduced.

The school is funded entirely by public education budgets through the Bildungsdirektion Wien and charges no tuition to apprentices or their Lehrbetriebe. Enrollment is managed through a formal registration process where apprenticeship companies submit Einschreibbogen forms. Geographic reach is domestic, serving apprentices primarily from Vienna and across Austrian Bundesländer, with hostel accommodation provided for non-Viennese apprentices. The school is led by Director Mag. Martina Knapp and is co-located with three other vocational schools in the 1. Zentralberufsschulgebäude.

Direct peers

• BS MFE – Berufsschule für Metalltechnik und Fahrzeugtechnik: Austrian Berufsschule for metal and vehicle technology operating under the same Bildungsdirektion Wien framework. Partner school in the Recycling Heroes project and a direct structural peer for dual vocational education funding, scheduling, and Bildungsdirektion policy exposure.
• BS ETM – Berufsschule für Elektrotechnik, Mechatronik und Informationstechnologie: Receives BS EVITA's redirected Elektrotechnik enrollments. Directly comparable as a Bildungsdirektion Wien Berufsschule focused on overlapping electrical and IT trades; effectively the primary displacement competitor for one of BS EVITA's headline programs.
• Berufsschule für Handel und Reisebüro Wien: Vienna Berufsschule under the same Bildungsdirektion Wien authority. Comparable institutional structure (publicly funded, Mollardgasse-area building footprint, dual-education model) though serving a different trade vertical.
• TGM – Technologisches Gewerbemuseum (Die Schule der Technik): Vienna-based technical/trade school covering overlapping vocational and HTL-level programs in electrical, IT, and engineering trades. Already a documented partner school in BS EVITA's Recycling Heroes project, making it the closest comparable on curriculum overlap and geographic base.
• HTL Wien 22 (Höhere Technische Lehranstalt Donaustadt): Higher technical college in Vienna with overlapping electronics and IT program offerings. Partner school in the Recycling Heroes Sparkling Science project; comparable in geographic catchment, employer base, and apprentice/employer-routing dynamics.

Regional players

• LBS Theresianum – Landesberufsschule Eisenstadt: Austrian regional vocational school offering technical and trade apprenticeships in eastern Austria. Comparable dual-education Berufsschule model but serving apprentices outside Vienna; relevant for cross-Bundesland apprentice routing dynamics.

Others

• TU Wien – Institut für Automatisierungstechnik (Academic Partner): Existing research partner that accompanies BS EVITA's Recycling Heroes project. Comparable only at the research-collaboration layer (citizen science, e-waste, circular economy) rather than core instructional offering, but material for evaluating the school's external academic linkages.
• beeproduced GmbH: Lead partner of BS EVITA's Recycling Heroes Sparkling Science project. Not an instructional peer, but a thematic peer in e-waste / circular-economy education; relevant to assess the school's project-based enrichment partnerships and innovation profile.

Broad incumbents

• BFI Wien – Berufsförderungsinstitut Wien: Major Vienna-based provider of vocational re-skilling and apprenticeship-support training. Comparable target learner population (apprentices and trade entrants) and trade overlap, though structured around workforce-adult programs rather than the dual-education Berufsschule model.
• WIFI Wien (Wirtschaftsförderungsinstitut der Wirtschaftskammer Wien): Wider-scope vocational and continuing-education provider in Vienna, including IT, electrical, and event-technology courses. Overlaps in trade coverage but operates under chamber funding rather than Bildungsdirektion and serves a broader adult/professional learner base.
