Training company by tradition

Group photo of apprentices and trainersThe future of a company depends heavily on how well it selects, trains and educates employees. EVVA invests heavily in training and further education. EVVA has been accepting apprentices since the 1940s. In recent decades, the company has trained numerous apprentices, e.g. in mechanical engineering, mechatronics or IT. EVVA currently employs 9 apprentices in Vienna. EVVA is very proud of its apprentices, who help to build the company and can take on important tasks from an early stage.


Our commitment to apprentices is honoured

EVVA has been the official "Top Learning Company" of the City of Vienna since 2014 - a seal that meets many requirements. Our company assumes an important socio-political responsibility with the training of apprentices. This is honoured by the City of Vienna. EVVA won the award again in 2022 and is entitled to carry the seal of quality until 2026. We are therefore one of the best training companies in the country. "The jury put EVVA through its paces. We were able to impress them with the presentation of our apprenticeship. The jury’s final statement was: “EVVA has now set the bar very high for the other applicants,” says Andreas Graf, Vice President of Automation Technology and responsible for the apprentices at EVVA.

Our milestones to receive the award again:

  • Focus on "digitalisation": Every EVVA apprentice receives a notebook; EVVA not only relies on the transfer of knowledge in the vocational school, but also checks the acquired know-how via mentors and software. Deficits are remedied together
  • Focus on "future orientation": EVVA is revising its training plans and integrating further digital competence areas, which will be even more highly demanded in the future
  • Focus on "lean management": Our apprentices are trained at an early stage in state-of-the-art, low-waste and high-quality production methods. Lean management is not a taught subject matter at vocational school, but at EVVA they learn everything about it in theory and practice.

Female trainees

EVVA has already trained female apprentices. We would very much like to take in more, but the number of female applicants is still very small. Technology is still a very strong men’s domain. EVVA is taking several measures to change this situation:

  • Participation in “daughter days” , which allow girls aged between 11 and 16 to get a taste of the company’s professional world. More about this under Sustainability begins at school
     
  • Participation in "Fit - Women in Technology", which initiates retraining for women
     
  • Participation in apprenticeship fairs designed to inspire young people to pursue careers in science and technology. EVVA apprentices and specialists talk about their professional lives
