HTL Neufelden

What HTL Neufelden does

HTL Neufelden is a publicly funded Austrian Höhere Technische Bundeslehranstalt (higher technical secondary school) located in Neufelden, Upper Austria, founded in 1991. It delivers two 5-year tracks: Automatisierungstechnik (automation technology) and Betriebsinformatik (business informatics), both culminating in the Reife- und Diplomprüfung (Matura). Students typically enroll aged 14–19. The school combines classroom instruction with hands-on workshops, laboratories, CNC machines, laser technology, robotics labs, and a Smart Production Lab Car developed as a student project, and offers supplementary programs in Game Design and Summer School outreach.

The institution's business model is government-funded public education with no tuition charged to students; revenue is sourced from Austrian federal and state education authorities rather than commercial customers. Its commercial-style counterparties are 50+ regional industry "Ausbildungspartner" (training partners) — including ABB, KEBA, voestalpine, Biohort, Bosch, Dynatrace, Andritz, TGW, Loxone, and others — who provide diploma thesis topics, company visits, equipment sponsorship, and a direct graduate recruitment pipeline. The school also holds an official Linux Professional Institute (LPI) partnership, supports FH Steyr / FH Hagenberg / JKU Linz credit recognition (up to 18 ECTS), and runs targeted girls-in-tech outreach (Girls' Day, Powergirls, Info-Café für Mädchen).

HTL Neufelden is led by Director Mag. Walter Jungwirth and operates with approximately 16 staff from a single campus at Höferweg 47, A-4120 Neufelden. Distribution is via the standard Austrian HTL enrollment system, with community-led recruitment through open days, trial days, summer schools, and active alumni and employer engagement via the Job Lounge platform and Firmentage events. Its value proposition to regional employers is a practice-ready technical workforce; to students, a dual academic/practical pathway into engineering and IT careers or higher education.
