Welcome Day: AT&S trains 21 new apprentices for the high-tech industry

AT&S has intensified its apprenticeship training. The number of apprentices has more than doubled. Technological requirements and specific process knowledge make the young people highly qualified specialists in an industry of the future. 21 new apprentices completed the Welcome Day at the company’s headquarters in Leoben and are looking forward to an exciting apprenticeship.

Leoben, September 19, 2024 – Nine apprentices started their training at AT&S in 2021. Since then, the Styrian company, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of IC substrates and high-end printed circuit boards, has intensified its apprenticeship training. With success: in fall 2024, 21 new apprentices start their training at the Austrian AT&S sites in Leoben Hinterberg and Fehring, meaning the number has more than doubled.

Artificial intelligence, digitalization, electrification and sustainable energy use are the megatrends of our time, and AT&S is driving precisely these future areas with its products and customers. AT&S offers an attractive working environment that challenges and encourages young people. Of the 21 new AT&S apprentices, almost half of whom are female, 13 have opted for the apprenticeship model with Matura. At AT&S, the Matura is completed during working hours. Three even start their apprenticeship after successfully completing their Matura.

In total, 65 apprentices are now completing apprenticeships at AT&S in the following professions: Electrical engineering, process engineering, mechatronics, metal technology, production metrology, laboratory technology chemistry, testing technology physics, industrial clerk and IT technology. From 2025, AT&S will even offer twelve different apprenticeships.

“For us, apprenticeship training is more than ever an important pillar in meeting the demand for qualified employees. Our technological requirements call for specific process knowledge and expertise, which our apprentices acquire through this form of training in particular,” says Eduard Lackner, HR Manager Austria at AT&S.
