The CIC aims to facilitate and support a person’s introduction to the social and economic life in Carinthia, in the hope to assist colleagues from different countries in settling better into the new life here. We provide advisory services that enable people to take informed decisions in relation to work, life, and the schooling of children in this new environment. We also host sets of regular events and activities, to provide platforms for social networking and information exchange. The Austrian locals may also join us, for a connection to the vibrant international community or to meet like-minded people. The CIC is an association that is financed only through membership fees, hence registering as a member is encouraged and also necessary for many of our services.
