Your work, your income
1st year of apprenticeship – €900
The first year of the apprenticeship is an exciting one! You can put what you learned at our training centres in Ybbs on the Danube or Kaprun into practice and will attend vocational school in Amstetten or Hallein in ten-week blocks (per year of your apprenticeship). During this time you can stay in a boarding school free of charge.
2nd year of apprenticeship – €1,122
This gives you an intensive practical base right from the second year onwards. In each year of the apprenticeship you will also have the opportunity to engage in character-building activities and visit interesting partner companies.
3rd year of apprenticeship – €1,458 and 4th year – €1,925
These will be very exhilarating years! In years three and four you will work at one of our substations, in addition to a part-time training module at the training centre.
To all parents
In the first year of their apprenticeship, our apprentices receive their basic training at one of the state-of-the-art training centres in Kaprun or Ybbs on the Danube. During this time, they are put up in our directly affiliated apprentice residences where they are not only supervised, but also participate in a varied recreational programme. This helps them to make friends quickly and strengthens the APG team spirit.
The apprentices attend vocational school in Amstetten or Hallein in blocks of ten weeks per year of their apprenticeship. During this time, the apprentices can live in a boarding school free of charge.
Awards
State-awarded company for apprenticeship
Several years ago, Austrian Power Grid AG was awarded the national emblem "State-awarded company for apprenticeship" by the Ministry of Economics for the high quality of its apprenticeship training. This award is only given to training companies that have made a special contribution to the Austrian economy through exceptional achievements in the training of apprentices. Only a few Austrian companies have received this award so far.
Kronen Zeitung: Popular apprenticeship company 2022/2023
Austrian Power Grid AG was awarded the "Popular Apprenticeship Company" seal of quality. The basis for this was a multi-method study by the Institute for Management and Economic Research among the 2,000 largest Austrian companies, for which vocational school teachers were surveyed, company evaluations by apprentices on platforms and in social media were evaluated, the reputation of the companies as apprenticeship companies was surveyed in the media and the companies were questioned about apprenticeship training.
