Frequently Asked Questions

One thing we can promise you: the pay is worth having. You will find the exact apprentice income under the trade itself, on the page „Electrical engineering apprenticeship“.

Yes. Everyone's education takes a different route. In certain cases a shorter or longer apprenticeship is possible. We look at your particular situation together and find the right way forward for you.

No. Your apprenticeship begins with our welcome week. You get to know the company, the other apprentices and the most important routines before you set foot on your first site.

Yes. You can join us at any point in the year. Together we find the ideal moment for your apprenticeship to begin.

You can train with us in electrical engineering — with a range of specialisations such as smart home, building services, renewable energy and electric mobility, and network technology. You will find the details on the page „Electrical engineering apprenticeship".

The apprenticeship normally runs for four years — because alongside the main module you choose a specialist module.

The main part of your training is installation work, where you are out with experienced colleagues in the workshop and on site. In between you attend vocational school in blocks, and our own training workshop at our headquarters in Melk.

Yes — we have an apprentice officer who is with you from day one to your final examination. You are never left on your own.

With our in-house training workshop we can take training to the next level and train you even better. There you have the opportunity to build specifically on what you have already learned, improve your practical skills further, practise procedures and try out new techniques. You can find more information on the page “Training workshop”.

Working hours vary with the site you are on. During vocational school weeks, school hours apply.

Vocational school is taught in blocks of ten weeks per year of the apprenticeship, at the Landesberufsschule Stockerau. You get the details and the term dates from the apprentice officer in good time before each block.

Yes! We offer taster days (Monday to Thursday) and summer work placements during the summer holidays. That way you get a real insight before you decide. You can sign up using the application form.

Our own training workshop & apprentice officer, a tool case, apprentice outings, bonuses for good school marks, and we pay for your car driving licence if you achieve outstanding results at vocational school and in the final apprenticeship examination. In addition, days off to prepare for the final examination and much more. You can find the full overview on the page “Benefits”.

Through our online application form. Upload your CV, your most recent school reports and a short covering letter. Just be yourself — we want to get to know you, not a perfectly packaged application.

No. What you need is an interest in technology, a willingness to get stuck in and a solid grounding in maths. Everything technical we teach you step by step — that is what the training is for.

Doing it yourself is the whole point here. From your first year you work on real jobs — guided, of course, but never just watching. You learn most by joining in.

Yes. The greater part of your training takes place on site. You also get an insight into the stores and into switchgear assembly. Between the training workshop, personal development courses and vocational school, the work stays varied.

Yes — training matters to us. Alongside your technical education you take part in personal development courses every year. You also have the option of combining the apprenticeship with the school-leaving certificate.

Absolutely! We welcome every application — gender makes no difference to us. Electrical engineering needs all kinds of minds, and the best teams are mixed ones.
