Women in technical professions: Gföllner focuses on diversity in apprenticeship training

Unternehmen

The idea that technical professions are only for boys is a thing of the past. At Gföllner, young women show day after day that metalworking, painting technology and electrical engineering can be just as well in the hands of women.

The idea that technical professions are only for boys has long been a thing of the past. At Gföllner in St. Georgen near Grieskirchen, young women show day after day that metalworking, painting technology and electrical engineering can be just as well in the hands of women.

Young women conquer technical apprenticeships

"I wanted to do something practical that I enjoy and that pays well," says Leonie Dobner confidently. The budding paint technician has never regretted her career choice. Jana Nöstlinger has also found her place in metalworking: "Welding is fascinating because it combines strength and precision." She particularly appreciates the close collaboration within the team.

In turn, Marie Mairhuber sees her professional future in electrical engineering: "Electrical engineering is becoming increasingly important and the opportunities are huge." With this vision, she is investing in an apprenticeship that will open up numerous opportunities for her.

These examples show that Young women at Gföllner are boldly going their own way and proving that skill, team spirit and enthusiasm for technology are not a question of gender.
