apprenticeship, skilled workers and master craftsmen
Attentive readers of our mailings and friends of the house are aware of our efforts regarding education, qualification and teaching. In recent weeks there have been repeated occasions of joy with regard to these topics. Worth mentioning is the intensive application of the apprenticeship, especially the apprenticeship after the Matura, in various media. At the moment we have two former Matura students in training: Daniela Kalman and Jacob Kastenhuber.
Looking over the shoulders of young skilled workers as they practise their trade at EuroSkills 2018 in Budapest was an exciting experience. These young participants are probably the best advertisement for the apprenticeship training path. The dual training is the basis for the repeated shower of medals for Austrians at these competitions.
Anyone wishing to attend a professional competition such as this will have the opportunity to do so in Kazan/Russia in 2019 or in Graz in 2020. Last but not least, the equalisation of Bachelor and Master in the NQF (National Qualifications Framework) by the Austrian Parliament should be mentioned. This equality makes the apprenticeship training path even more important.
