Mechatronics, automation technology apprenticeship
Build it. Connect it. Automate it.
You write the program, start the machine, and see your work in action. This apprenticeship at INNIO in Jenbach brings mechanics, electronics, and software together: one day you tighten a screw, the next you work on control software. Can’t decide between mechanics, electrical work, and computers? This trade gives you all three.

An apprenticeship is a dual program: you learn the trade at work and in vocational school.
Year one
You start in our training workshop and learn the basics of your trade, with lots of hands-on practice from the first weeks.
Years two to four
More practice on real jobs, plus extra courses such as AutoCAD training and English classes.
Vocational school and Matura
You attend vocational school as part of your dual program. If you want, you can also earn your Matura, the Austrian university entrance qualification, alongside your apprenticeship, in cooperation with BFI. Committed apprentices finish it in less than four years.
After the apprenticeship
Your trade is just the start. Beate began as an apprentice and is VP Manufacturing in Jenbach today. Christoph started as a mechatronics apprentice and is now a Lead Expert in assembly.
