Top performances of the FACC Future Team at the apprentice competition
24.06.2019
Once again this year, the apprentices of the FACC Future Team performed outstandingly in the annual apprentice competition.
712 apprentices from 87 companies - in the largest and most popular apprentice competition of Austria, three members of our FACC Future Team achieved top placements in the categories "Plastics Engineering" and "Women in Technology".
Eleven FACC apprentices took part in the apprentice competition 2019 of the Upper Austrian Chamber of Commerce. And we can be particularly proud of the results of our Future Team, because they have all successfully met the challenges and completed their work positively. Our apprentices in the field of "plastics engineering" stood out in particular. Alexandru Papa and Maximilian Gramang (both 2nd year of apprenticeship) took second and third place in the category. Jana Badegruber also convinced the jury - with her top performance our designer made it to third place of the apprentice award for "Women in Technology".
We are thrilled to have received this award. Thanks to our excellent training, we did very well in the practical part .
