"Part-time apprentice" is a skilled worker

Successful "part-time apprentice" from Gmunden: Stefan Thallinger has successfully passed his final apprenticeship examination.
 

GMUNDEN. After exactly 55 months and twelve days of training as an electrical technician for plant and operating technology, the time had recently come: Stefan Thallinger, Austria's first BFI part-time apprentice, was pleased to have successfully passed his final apprenticeship examination. The Upper Austrian Chamber of Commerce made it possible for the 22-year-old from Gmund to split the two-day exam into three days.

Of course, there is also great joy among the initiators of the "part-time apprentice" project. On the one hand, it had arisen out of necessity for the 22-year-old, and on the other hand, out of a wonderful interaction between the Traunkirchen-based company Sema, the youth coaching, the youth training assistance, the Gmunden labour market service and the BFI Salzkammergut region. "Through Stefan's perseverance and ambition, he always served as a great role model for his fellow apprentices," says Petra Deimling, vocational and social educator at BFI Salzkammergut.

Thallinger moved to the status of skilled worker at the mechanical engineering and automation specialist Sema.
