National Apprentice Competition
Bronze at national level!
Congratulations to Bernhard Dunst! We are bursting with pride, as our talented apprentice took an outstanding third place in the metal technology, steel construction and welding technology category at this year's national apprentice competition.
Bernhard was able to assert himself at national level among 15 participants and take a place on the podium. His hard work was rewarded. He started his apprenticeship as a steel construction and welding technician at Winkelbauer GmbH in 2021. Over the years, he has continuously built up his skills and knowledge, as a result of which he has already won the regional apprenticeship competition. Targeted training and tireless ambition have now also helped him to 3rd place at national level.
Bernhard Dunst at the award ceremony:
“The preparation was intensive, but it paid off. I am proud that I was able to represent Winkelbauer so well at national level. The competition and the exchange with the other apprentices was a great experience!”
Such a success is more than just a medal – it is a strong signal and the best proof of the top quality and commitment that goes into our apprenticeship training.
Participation and success at national level are the result of our philosophy:
- Founded craftsmanship: We teach the traditional knowledge of the metalworking trade from the ground up – supplemented by state-of-the-art technology and machines.
- Practice meets high-tech: Our apprentices work with state-of-the-art equipment and materials from day one. There is no “school desk theory” here without any reference to reality.
- Mentoring and support: Experienced Specialists support our apprentices and provide them with targeted support. We know that: Only those who are challenged and supported can realise their full potential.
With his precision, expertise and composure under competitive pressure, Bernhard has proven that he is a national leader in his field. He is a shining example of what can be achieved with Winkelbauer training.
