Start your career with an apprenticeship
Pöttinger makes it possible
At Pöttinger our apprentice training programme has always been of major importance. A gathering was recently organised at the Grieskirchen agricultural machinery plant for everybody who started their careers at Pöttinger more than 30 years ago. Under the motto "Start your career with an apprenticeship", interesting experiences were exchanged.
| The "Start your career with an apprenticeship" event was held at Pöttinger in September 2008. We invited everybody who started their apprenticeship 30 years ago. This gathering demonstrated the strong links between people who served their apprenticeships together. The former apprentices in manufacturing, Alois Mader and Wolfgang Vetter told of their experiences and how they decided very early on to work in s trade rather than in a school. They started with a nine-month basic training programme. During this time they spent a lot of time working with files. Alois Mader reminisces with a smile, "That really hurt in the beginning and caused several blisters, but then that is how you learn to understand metal". Today, Alois Mader is the plant manager at the Pöttinger works in Vodnany, Czech Republic. Wolfgang Vetter chose to develop his career elsewhere and is now head of production at TGW. The two companions, whose relationship goes back many years, both agree that with a great deal of dedication, hard work and interest, you can start a great career by starting as an apprentice. |
