A total of 14 students \u2013 13 at level C and 1 at level B \u2013 took the certification exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel F. Leutgeb, head of the EBC*L Academy, welcomed those present with a humorous review of the conclave in Rome that had ended the previous day: \u201cIt was like the papal election \u2013 white smoke rose!\u201d A 100% success rate in an EBC*L exam is anything but commonplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The guest of honor was MMag. Victor Mihalic, founder and CEO of EBC*L International. Mihalic, winner of the Heinz von Foerster Prize for Organizational Cybernetics, emphasized the importance of the EBC*L program in his speech: \u201cOur aim is to give non-business people access to sound business knowledge \u2013 without an MBA or similar qualifications.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Excellent career opportunities, even in top management<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He emphasized: \u201cI am convinced that those with technical qualifications and business expertise have the best career opportunities. The executives of the future will increasingly consist of this combination.\u201d He praised the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien as a \u201cmodel organization within the international EBC*L network.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the ceremonial presentation of the certificates, the flags were raised once again \u2013 a tradition that has been an integral part of EBC*L award ceremonies since the 2024\/25 winter semester. Leutgeb also explained: \u201cAfter the flag comes the anthem.\u201d In fact, a draft for an EBC*L anthem already exists. It remains to be seen whether this will soon become an official part of the ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>More than 1,100 EBC*L exams at UAS Technikum Wien<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current round of exams marked another milestone: since the program was introduced, more than 1,100 EBC*L exams have been taken at the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien. This is impressive proof of the ongoing demand and sustained commitment to business competence for technicians.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-block=\"grid\" data-is-swiper=\"false\" data-columns=\"2\" data-bg-color=\"transparent\" data-vertical-alignment=\"start\" data-horizontal-alignment=\"start\" data-gap=\"s\" data-padding-top=\"2rem\" data-padding-bottom=\"2rem\" data-small-grid=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-ovl-grid\">\n<div data-block=\"grid-column\" class=\"wp-block-ovl-grid-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ovl-full-width-image ovl-fullWidthImage\" data-block=\"fullwidthimage\" data-height=\"450px\" data-caption=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" data-showcaption=\"false\" data-objectfit=\"contain\" data-use-aspect-ratio=\"false\" data-link=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ovl-fullWidthImage__image\" src=\"https:\/\/media-hp.technikum-wien.at\/media\/20250526105604\/EBCL-Mai-2025-Gruppenfoto-Fahne1-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-block=\"grid-column\" class=\"wp-block-ovl-grid-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ovl-full-width-image ovl-fullWidthImage\" data-block=\"fullwidthimage\" data-height=\"350px\" data-caption=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" data-showcaption=\"false\" data-objectfit=\"contain\" data-use-aspect-ratio=\"false\" data-link=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ovl-fullWidthImage__image\" src=\"https:\/\/media-hp.technikum-wien.at\/media\/20250526105305\/EBCL-Mai-2025-Gruppenfoto-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Gruppenfoto EBCL\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business skills for engineering students: Daniel F.
