Apply now Electrical Engineering and Metal Technology Our excellent dual apprenticeship for two professions in four years Do you enjoy fiddling around with machines? Then the dual apprenticeship in “Electrical engineering and metals technology” is the right one for you! On the electrical engineering (system and operating technology) apprenticeship, you begin with simple circuits. You are very quickly taught the main protective measures. During your apprenticeship in electrical engineering, you’ll plan, install and manage electrical systems. In Metal Technology (Mechanical Engineering Technology), you’ll work with state-of-the-art machine and hand tools, and at the same time program controls of computer-assisted (CNC) machines. You’ll make replacement parts for machines and use them to swap out damaged parts and components. In this way, you’ll familiarise yourself better with the various machines in detail. In the first year of the apprenticeship, you’ll receive theoretical and practical basic training at one of our training sites in Austria (Ybbs-Persenbeug, Kaprun) or Germany (Töging am Inn). In the second year, you’ll commence your professional practical experience in the power plant you applied for. At the same time, you’ll expand your theoretical knowledge in the form of modular training courses at one of our training sites. Your time spent at the training site and in the power station is divided equally. The combination of theory and practice ensures the ideal learning process during your apprenticeship. In years 3 and 4, you’ll learn how to program and visualise complex systems using the latest memory-programmable controls. Your tasks include the installation, testing, initial operation, controlling, maintenance and repair of power plant systems as well as systems for energy supply and energy distribution.
