But what exactly do you learn as a plastics technologist? The apprenticeship is multifaceted and combines technical knowledge with practical experience. Our apprentices learn everything there is to know about plastics—from their properties and applications to their processing and fabrication. In the process, they work with modern machinery and equipment and learn how to operate and monitor them properly. Understanding technical drawings, quality control, and surface finishing are also key components of the training. Working with precision and diligence plays a significant role in this process.
At Lercher, we place great importance on ensuring that our apprentices are well integrated into the team right from the start. As a family-owned business, a positive work environment is particularly important to us. In addition, our apprentices gradually take on more tasks and responsibilities, developing both professionally and personally in the process. This helps us lay a solid foundation for their future careers.
The start of their apprenticeships marks the beginning of a new chapter for both of them. We’re delighted that they’re spending this time at Lercher and are part of our team.
A warm welcome to Nikolina and Jakob! We wish you a successful apprenticeship filled with exciting insights!
