Austria's window industry shines: New training reform starts in 2025!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - In Austria, the window training faces significant change! From 2025, the main module window construction technology will be integrated into the apprenticeship training of wood technology, which is intended to ensure the quality and innovative strength of the entire industry. Dr. Manfred Gaulhofer, chairman of the professional group construction of the specialist association of the wood industry in Austria, emphasizes: "Windows are more than components: they combine innovative technology with sustainability and design." This new training triggers a positive reaction in both potential apprentices and companies.

Apprentices who opt for the window construction technology module benefit from a comprehensive training program that opens up a variety of career paths - from digital production to quality management and innovation -driven product development. Carpenters also have the opportunity to switch to wood technology after one year and to complete the module without extended training. The renowned wooden technology Kuchl will act as a training location. The entire apprenticeship is between three and four years, depending on the selected specialization. According to Mag. Ingo Ganzberger, Deputy Chairman of the Platform Window Austria, the industry offers numerous professional development opportunities.

The new training in the field of wood industry, which starts from August 2022, also represents an important progress. This is not only about processing cutting timber, but also about modern system technology and IT issues. "Go big!" - This is the campaign for promoting the new vocational wood industrial engineer, which opens up exciting opportunities in wood processing. This is also supported by Josua Preisig, production manager and trainer, who emphasizes the opportunities for young people: "There is huge potential in the material wood." These specialists can work in sawmills, wooden works or in wooden wholesale and enjoy high demand on the labor market.

With these new training modules and the increased content in wood processing, the entire industry increases its commitment to sustainable practices and the guarantee of high -quality products. The development shows that Austria's wood industry can successfully link both traditional craft and modern requirements.
