FACC apprentices achieve podium positions at the WKÖ apprentice competition

FACC apprentices regularly achieve top placings in apprentice competitions. This success story of the FACC Future Team continues seamlessly this year.

663 apprentices from the industrial sector took part in the WKO Upper Austria apprenticeship competition on 20 April 2024 to compete with their colleagues in various specialist areas. The annual competition is organised in cooperation with the Upper Austrian Association of Training Managers. The winners were officially announced and honoured on 18 June 2024 at the Sandburg Linz. FACC was represented by five apprentices - all of whom graduated with the grade "Very good" or "Good" - an impressive team performance! In addition, three podium places were achieved: Daniel Parzmair achieved 2nd place and Elias Lang 3rd place in fibre composite technology. Stefanie Wambacher achieved an impressive result with 3rd place in the design engineering category.

FACC CEO Robert Machtlinger congratulated the award winners and recognised in particular the importance of apprenticeships as a model of success for young people: "The success of the FACC Future Team makes me particularly proud and shows that we are at the forefront of the industry with our apprenticeship training. Our apprentices are internationally successful in their careers. Their expertise and experience are an important asset for the future."
