FAQ

As a prospective apprentice, you probably have many questions. We will be happy to answer them all in detail during your trial day or personal interview. Here is some initial information for you:

What can I expect on my first day of training?

At the beginning, all new apprentices are introduced to each other and given a tour of the company premises and all departments. This helps you get your bearings and settle in. Depending on the apprenticeship, there are then other things to do, such as being issued with work clothes and getting to know your workplace, before we gently start your induction program.

Of course not. The apprenticeship is there to teach you everything you need to know. Our learning program adapts to all apprentices and brings them to the same level of knowledge during the course of the apprenticeship. However, it is definitely an advantage if you have manual skills for commercial training in production or technological experience for office training.

The taster day offers you the opportunity to get to know the apprenticeship and the company. We look forward to your questions and interest in the apprenticeship.DScnuagedirGeibdUnzlnWirdeInamLhberufrrblh,deLehuf uneunauneFdss

In production, we have the following working hours:

Monday to Thursday from 6:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and from 12:30 p.m. to 3:15 p.m., Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

In the office, we have a 38.5-hour week and working time models vary depending on the department.

In general, our working hours are aligned with regional public transport schedules. This makes your commute easier.

1st year of apprenticeship: €1,192.10

2nd year of apprenticeship: €1,270

3rd year of apprenticeship: €1,625

4th year of apprenticeship: €2,110

The salary figures are gross salaries and are paid 14 times a year.

In line with our corporate values and good cooperation, we expect you to be punctual, willing to learn, a team player, accurate, and interested in your apprenticeship. We would also appreciate it if you are communicative and share your ideas with us.

Your instructors are always there for you. You can go to them at any time if you have questions or concerns. Your immediate colleagues are also there to support you. For female apprentices, we also have women’s representatives who are happy to help you.

Once a year before the holidays, we hold an apprentice parents’ day, to which you are welcome to attend alone or with your parents. Here you can find out everything you need to know about the company and the apprenticeships we offer. Of course, there is also the option of taster days, which we can arrange individually. Get in touch with us!

If you are doing an apprenticeship in production, you start at 6:30 a.m. with the safety briefing. Tasks are assigned according to your year of training and apprenticeship occupation, and then you carry out the agreed activities. After the lunch break (30 minutes), you continue working before tidying up and cleaning your workplace towards the end of your working day (3:15 p.m., or even 12 noon on Fridays!).

If you are doing an apprenticeship in the office, the day usually begins with processing mail (checking emails) and organizing the workday. Depending on the department, you will learn new skills and carry out the respective tasks. After the lunch break (30 minutes), you will continue working before planning and coordinating the next workday towards the end of your working hours.

We have a total of around 350 employees. The number of direct colleagues you work with will of course vary depending on the department.

If you are training to become a metal technician, mechatronics technician (both at Amstetten vocational school) or materials technician (Neunkirchen vocational school), you are required to board at the school during the first two years of your apprenticeship. From the third year onwards, you can decide for yourself whether you want to continue boarding at the school.

If you are training to become an industrial clerk (vocational school in Waldegg near Wiener Neustadt) or IT operations technician (vocational school in Pöchlarn), you will live in the boarding school for the entire duration of your vocational training.

First, you contact us (in person, by phone, by email, or via our website) and send us your application.

If you are a good fit for us as an apprentice, we will invite you to come in for a personal meeting and trial period.

You will then receive either an acceptance or rejection for the apprenticeship position.

We place great importance on good training and do our best to ensure that, after your apprenticeship, you will be a top employee and a valued team member. Naturally, we want to retain such valuable employees in the company, so it is very likely that you will be hired by the company.

We offer our employees numerous training and development opportunities. Even during your apprenticeship, you will have the opportunity to take additional training courses that will further enhance your qualifications.
