Internationality is of major importance at the SKIDATA headquarters in Austria: an open work environment and exchange between employees of various nationalities, also as part of international assignments, are important factors for innovation and success. One current example of a SKIDATA employee abroad is Markus, a technician: the 25-year-old was recently working in Australia. There SKIDATA is represented at five locations (Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney).
Markus has been with SKIDATA since August 2005 and can now boast completed training in three areas: he works as a communication technician and mechatronics technician in the SKIDATA headquarters in Grödig and additionally assists in internal development and knowledge sharing as a product trainer.
One special highlight of his SKIDATA career was surely his three-month stay in Australia from mid-March until June. Working as a service technician there, he extended his knowledge and expertise to his Australian co-workers.

A great opportunity to exchange knowledge

Although he always wanted to visit Australia, Markus was understandably nervous prior to his three-month foreign assignment. His worries were completely unfounded, however: „I felt very welcomed by my colleagues there and settled quickly.“ Working abroad is an excellent opportunity to further develop, both professionally and personally – an opportunity SKIDATA employees are eager to take. After all, colleagues from various countries and cultures benefit from the exchange of experience and chance to learn from one another. For Markus, his stay in Australia was a unique experience and a complete success – aside from the initial jetlag, that is.
