Connecting seasons by EURES Croatia

Rationale and aims

Connecting seasons by EURES Croatia provides support to Croatian seasonal workers seeking employment in the HORECA sector in Austria during the winter season by facilitating cross-border job matching and recruitment. The programme aims to improve employment continuity for seasonal workers by connecting summer work in Croatia with winter job opportunities in Austrian tourism regions.

Support offered

Connecting seasons by EURES Croatia and EURES Austria provides job matching and recruitment support to Croatian seasonal workers and Austrian tourism employers through job fairs, recruitment events and advisory services. The programme offers translated job vacancies, career counselling, CV and application support, and information on living and working conditions, rights and obligations. The support provided to employers include access to pre-screened candidates and coordinated recruitment activities.

Target groups and eligibility

Connecting seasons by EURES Croatia targets Croatian jobseekers with experience or interest in seasonal work in tourism, hospitality and catering, particularly those seeking winter employment in Austria. It also targets Austrian tourism employers, mainly small and medium-sized enterprises in hospitality, hotels, restaurants and ski resorts facing seasonal labour shortages.
