The Berufsförderungsinstitut Steiermark (bfi) is an institution of vocational training and further training established by the Austrian Federation of Trade Unions (ÖGB) and the Chamber of Labour for Styria (AK). It has operated as an independent and not-for profit association since 1960. Our training centers are places, where life, activity and career are equally valued, and a gathering place for people who are interested in continuous education and development.
