The apprenticeship program for Industrial Electronics Technicians follows a dual-track structure. It lasts three and a half years. You’ll work in the electrical and electronics workshop of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, where you’ll gain hands-on experience right from the start.

The theoretical fundamentals are taught at the vocational school, where classes are held in blocks. This means you spend one week at the vocational school and two weeks at the company.

Vocational school is an important part of your training because it provides you with the theoretical background knowledge you need for your professional practice. You’ll learn about electrical systems, analyze control systems, and become familiar with the devices and components used in systems. After all, you’ll need to be able to install them later and understand their functions in order to program the control systems.

Important subjects at vocational school include:

  • Industrial Engineering
  • Installation and Energy Technology
  • Control Systems
  • Systems and Equipment Technology

After completing your apprenticeship as an electronics technician for industrial engineering, you will be responsible for programming and configuring systems, as well as designing system modifications and expansions, while ensuring occupational safety and health as well as environmental protection. We aim to offer you a permanent position.
