Empirically founded responses from the labour market and the professional careers of graduates from Austrian colleges of business administration (Handelsakademien or HAKs) constitute an essential basis for argumentation to appropriately position the HAK qualification in the National and European Qualifications Frameworks (EQF/NQF) and to be able to design the training in a future-oriented manner; they are therefore indispensable for the further development of this school type.
