In Autumn 2018 our apprentice in the metal construction department took part in the project “Young Styrians go Europe” and spent three weeks on the island of Malta. This project, funded through Erasmus+ by the Styrian Volkswirtschaftliche Gesellschaft (association for educational support), invites ambitious apprentices to take part in an international internship programme. This was the second time, our apprentice took part and had the chance to not only smell fresh sea air but assist the Attard Bros Group in works such as producing and installing railings, welding frame constructions and repairing a truck. Apprentice Lukas Haberl: “Again this was an awesome experience, travelling to Malta for this exchange programme abroad and I am very glad that KAMPER gave me the opportunity to take part.”

While the improvement of foreign language as well as theoretical and practical technical skills are major features of this project, the development of social and personal competences is simply amazing. Reason enough for KAMPER Handwerk+Bau to integrate such projects into regular apprentice training.
