40 years of HTL Wolfsberg: Director Jantschgi on change and diversity

The 40th anniversary of the Higher Technical College (HTL) was recently celebrated in the city of Wolfsberg. This anniversary is not only a reason to celebrate, but also an opportunity to take a look at the development and history of this important educational institution. Director Jürgen Jantschgi, who has led the HTL for many years, shared his experiences and memories of the early days of the school.

Mr Jantschgi, now 59 years old, reflected on the challenges of the past and the progress the school has made. “Thirty years ago we were happy if we had a girl in a class,” he noted. This statement not only reveals the reality at the time, but also shows the change in the gender distribution at technical schools that has taken place in the last few decades.

A look into the past

The HTL in Wolfsberg was founded with the aim of offering students sound technical training. The school has continually evolved over the years to meet the demands of modern industry and society. This meant, among other things, adapting the curricula and integrating new technologies and teaching methods.

The times back then were characterized by a predominantly male student body in the technical field. Director Jantschgi remembered the beginnings and how important it was to get girls interested in technical careers. “We have worked hard to stimulate interest among students and encourage them to pursue technical careers,” he said.

The HTL has achieved significant success by not only expanding its range of courses, but also initiating various projects to promote girls in technical professions. These measures have resulted in an increase in the proportion of girls in classes, which is a positive sign for the future of the industry.

The anniversary was celebrated with events that brought together both former students and current students to honor the HTL's successes. Former graduates reported on their careers and the impact that their training at the HTL had on their professional lives.

As one of the most important educational institutions in the region, the HTL Wolfsberg has an important place in the local educational landscape. The school has not only contributed to the professional development of its students, but also to the economic strengthening of the region.
