Up-and-coming mechanical engineers begin their careers at WINTERSTEIGER

Nine young people are beginning their technical apprenticeships at the internationally active machine manufacturer.

It marks the start of a new chapter in their lives: On August 17, nine young men from the districts of Ried, Schärding, and Grieskirchen began their apprenticeships at WINTERSTEIGER in Ried im Innkreis. During the next three to four years, in the apprenticeships in mechatronics, electrical engineering, metal technology, and metalworking, they will gain the knowledge and experience essential for a career in mechanical and plant engineering.

“Training young people is an investment in the future. With our apprentices, we gain dedicated young talent who bring new perspectives and fresh ideas to the table. At the same time, they are the skilled workers of the future who will help our company continue to grow in the years to come,” says CEO Pierre Bilgeri. The internationally active machine and plant engineering group WINTERSTEIGER currently employs around 60 apprentices in nine different apprenticeship programs.

Many former apprentices have continued their careers at the company and now hold positions of responsibility in a wide variety of areas. To this end, WINTERSTEIGER has for decades not only relied on a solid technical education but also specifically promoted personal and social skills through its Apprentice Academy. Teamwork, personal responsibility, communication skills, and the ability to work independently are integral parts of the training program.
