Digital Campus Vorarlberg

What Digital Campus Vorarlberg does

Digital Campus Vorarlberg is a non-profit educational institution founded in 2018 and wholly owned by AK Vorarlberg (Arbeiterkammer Vorarlberg), the regional Chamber of Labour. Headquartered in Feldkirch with a second location opened in Dornbirn in June 2026, it operates as the leading institution for digital continuing education in Vorarlberg, Austria. The organization employs 29 staff and serves working professionals, career changers, corporate clients, and youth through a portfolio of over 100 courses organized across six sub-brand academies: KI Campus (AI), IT & Coding Campus, Digital Marketing Academy, Business & Management Academy, E-Learning Lehrgänge, and Digital Studies (MBA degrees via FH Burgenland partnership). It holds ÖCert, EduQua, and Quality Austria ISO 9001:2015 certifications.

The institution's technology stack centers on a dedicated E-Learning platform (lernen.digitalcampusvorarlberg.at) with integrated learning management, virtual classrooms, and a blended learning methodology (30% online, 70% in-person). It uses HubSpot for CRM, newsletter automation, and live chat, plus Google Analytics and AdWords for marketing analytics. A board of six major Vorarlberg corporations (Alpla, Doppelmayr, Hirschmann Automotive, Blum, Gebrüder Weiss, Getzner) shapes curriculum and contributes to corporate training demand.

Revenue is generated through per-program course fees (e.g., MBA at €7,900–€8,900), customized corporate training engagements, and ancillary offerings including seminar room rentals. Pricing is materially reduced through government subsidies: FFG Skills Scheck (up to 50% / €5,000 per employee for corporate training), AK-Bildungsgutschein (25% individual discount), and AK-Bildungsstipendium (50% individual scholarship). All course fees are VAT-exempt under §6 Abs 1 Z 11 UStG 1994. Go-to-market is primarily sales-led with event-driven demand generation via free Campus Talk webinars, Infoabende, and Open House events.

Revenue model

1. Course and Program Fees: Revenue is generated primarily through enrollment fees for diploma programs, short courses, E-Learning programs, and MBA Studiengänge. Fees are charged per program or module, with E-Learning courses starting at defined price points. Course fees are exempt from Austrian VAT (§6 Abs 1 Z 11 UStG 1994).
2. Corporate Training (Firmenkurse & Inhouse-Trainings): Customized in-house training programs are delivered to corporate clients (e.g., Getzner, Doppelmayr, Hirschmann Automotive). Companies can also access FFG Skills Scheck funding covering up to 50% of course costs per employee. Revenue is project-based per corporate engagement.
3. FFG Skills Scheck Government Subsidy (Pass-through): Companies receive Austrian FFG (Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft) Skills Scheck subsidies of up to 50% of course costs (up to €5,000 per employee) for employee upskilling. This government subsidy reduces the net price for corporate clients and drives enrollment volume.
