Learning a technical profession means being able to operate a wide variety of systems, machines and tools. Understanding interrelationships, planning, tackling, taking apart and putting back together again. And all of this in the centre of operations, not just from a desk or computer.
The seven apprenticeships we present here are just as diverse. Some focus on technical flair, others on manual skills or creativity.
However, apprentices and instructors agree on one thing: what counts for a successful apprenticeship is not a school-leaving certificate with top grades. It's motivation and a desire to learn new things. You don't have to be a maths genius either (but it doesn't hurt either). What is needed are soft skills, e.g. the ability to work in a team and communicate well. And finally: technical professions are only for boys? That used to be true.
