Profile
Business Frauen Center (BFC) was founded in November 2000 in Klagenfurt and operates as a nonprofit development and research association. For more than 25 years it has worked on equal opportunity, sustainable development and networking for women in business and society.
Corporate mentoring services
BFC is one of the most direct Austrian providers for organizations seeking to establish structured mentoring. Its official services page explicitly lists:
- consulting on the implementation of internal mentoring programs,
- design of mentoring programs for different target groups,
- tailored support for internal programs,
- selection and qualification of mentors,
- participation in cross-company mentoring programs.
BFC identifies professional matching, training for mentors and mentees, a supporting program framework and scientific evaluation as key success factors. The website refers to experience from more than 1,000 matches.
Experience and positioning
BFC has run different mentoring programs for over 20 years, combining process consulting and program delivery with its own business network. The website shows reference-company logos, but the mentoring page does not consistently provide the company names in machine-readable text, so ambiguous references are not reproduced here.
Other services
Beyond mentoring, BFC develops training projects and networking formats and works on equal opportunity, gender equality, work-life integration, sustainable development and women's professional development.
