About a year ago, I started my apprenticeship as a tool mechanic. So far, the working environment has always been very positive. The varied and challenging work on milling machines, lathes, and practical tasks fascinates me. The three-and-a-half-year apprenticeship allows me to delve deeply into all areas. I look forward to learning even more and continuing to develop.
