Whether in electrical engineering, mechatronics or wholesale – apprentices play an active role in the specialist departments right from the start, take on tasks independently and gain an understanding of the processes within an internationally successful industrial company. By rotating regularly between different departments, they also gain a comprehensive insight into the company and can develop their strengths in a targeted manner.
Individual support rather than a one-size-fits-all approach
Banner attaches great importance to supporting young talent not only professionally but also personally. Experienced trainers support the apprentices throughout their entire training period and help them prepare for vocational school and their final apprenticeship examination. The programme also includes further training, workshops and joint apprentice activities. The company’s aim is to offer young talent permanent employment upon successful completion of their apprenticeship and to provide them with long-term career prospects. For this commitment, Banner has once again been recognised as an ‘Exemplary Apprenticeship Provider 2025–2028’.
More opportunities for young people
This training programme offers numerous benefits for apprentices. They gain practical experience at an early stage, work with modern technologies and earn their own income whilst still in training. At the same time, they acquire skills that are in high demand on the labour market. The close support and the prospect of a permanent role provide additional security and make the transition into working life easier. Rather than having to look for a job after completing their training, many are able to continue their professional careers directly within the company.
A contribution to society
However, it is not only Banner that benefits from this commitment. By training young people itself, the company makes an important contribution to securing the next generation of skilled workers in Austria. Well-trained skilled workers are essential for ensuring that domestic industry remains innovative and competitive. At the same time, a qualified apprenticeship opens up attractive future prospects for young people in the region and helps to counteract the shortage of skilled workers.
For society, this means more than just training individual apprentices: secure jobs are created, valuable expertise remains in the country, and young people are given the chance to develop both professionally and personally.
#schongenial, because in doing so, Banner is not only investing in the future of its own company, but also in the future of Upper Austria as a business location and in the next generation.
