Ambient Friday 3 April 2026 It was time again: The Electric Friday The program was on at our headquarters in Melk. For our apprentices, this meant a varied day with different stations, new insights and plenty of space for questions, ideas and exchange.
After a joint welcome, we went to the different stations in groups. Each station offered practical knowledge, important impulses for everyday work and topics that are also relevant beyond the job.
🧰 Station 1 – Tool Control
In the case of Tool control It was all about order, completeness and the correct use of tools. Together with our warehouse manager Bernd Eßbüchl We took a close look at our apprentices' toolboxes and not only checked them, but also explained why careful tool care is so important in everyday work.
🌱 Station 2 – Sustainability
At this station the subject was Sustainability Our environmental manager. Bernadette Pachschwöll worked with the apprentices on three main areas:
- raising awareness about sustainability in everyday work
- Proper waste separation
- Collection of ideas for more sustainability in the company
The open exchange was particularly valuable: The apprentices brought in many of their own suggestions and showed that sustainable thinking is nothing new for them.
Station 3 – Knowledge Management
How to find important information quickly? Where is knowledge gathered and shared? That's what the station was all about. Knowledge management with our apprenticeship officer Alina Haberl .
The focus here was on our intranet, the learning platform wîse up and the possibilities in the training workshop. The apprentices got a good overview of which tools they support in everyday work and how important it is to actively use and pass on knowledge.
Station 4 – Body Analysis & Health
At two stations the Own health at the centre:
In the case of Body Analysis with Michaela Mach The apprentices gained exciting insights into their body and physical condition.
In addition to this, " "Food and Health" with Harald Mach about healthy nutrition, energy in everyday life and simple tips that can be implemented well in professional life.
🍕 The crowning conclusion? Pizza, of course!
