Your role as a mechanical engineer
What you will learn in the 3,5 year apprenticeship
During your apprenticeship, you will learn connection and processing techniques in the field of mechanical engineering that will enable you to assemble and commission machines once you have completed your training. You will learn how to work with metal and operate computer-aided systems and equipment. We place a special emphasis on practical knowledge throughout your apprenticeship, and we will support you through special training sessions in our own training workshops at our Frankenmarkt site.
After your training
So you’ve finished your apprenticeship – what next?
