Programme
Ecological sustainability as a focus in apprenticeship training
In order to live sustainability and not just talk about it, we need to change our behavioral patterns. Both companies and each individual are equally challenged here. In order for this transformation to succeed, the first step is to create the necessary knowledge. For this reason, a program was developed that permanently integrates ecological sustainability into apprenticeship training.
The schedule

In addition to information events on the subject of the climate crisis, the focal points of nutrition, mobility and sustainable energy were defined. A focus is set in each apprenticeship year and implemented using various formats. In addition to keynotes from experts, there are also workshops in which you can become active yourself, as well as joint projects with which you can experience the effectiveness of your own actions.
Compared to a higher education school, there is little time and space for content outside of subject-specific training. This program provides time to appropriately incorporate the topic of sustainability here as well.


Possible modules
The enablers
In order to be able to anchor such a program in the long term, you need ideas, the will and courage to implement them, as well as content and professional competence.
The program was developed by Barbara Hütter and Karin Pirolt from next-incubator. They had the idea and the head of technical training, Alexander Krampl, made the time and resources available to turn the idea into reality. The individual modules are developed together and this results in a toolbox with a wide variety of formats that can be opened as required. The aim is to provide 3-3 suitable formats for the 5 main topics mobility, nutrition and sustainable energy production. In this way, the people involved in the training can choose from a wide range every year and offer something suitable for the respective group.
