Excursion to the road maintenance department: Students learn at Poly Horn in Geras

Before the upcoming autumn holidays, students from the wood department took part in an exciting excursion. The event was organized by Hannes Gumpinger, the head of the GERAS road maintenance department, to offer young people a practical insight into the world of work of street support. The students experienced up close how diverse the tasks in this professional field are and what importance the road maintenance department has for the region.

The excursion led the students to various construction sites in the road maintenance department. In doing so, they not only received information about the individual projects, but also the opportunity to speak to the local skilled workers. Such events are particularly important in order to put the theoretical knowledge of the students into practice and to inspire them for possible professional paths.

insight into the practical work

The students were able to experience directly by visiting the construction sites, such as road construction and maintenance. Hannes Gumpinger explained various techniques and materials used for the work. In particular, the use of wood in road construction and in the case of appropriate maintenance measures was discussed, which was particularly interesting for the students.

This type of practical experience is of crucial importance, since it not only gives the students specialist knowledge, but also offers the opportunity to think about their future choice of career. Gumpinger emphasized the importance of such excursions: "It is important for the pupils to see how what is learned in school lessons is used in reality," he said.

Through such encounters, the understanding of the challenges and possibilities in the industry promotes. The students also had the chance to ask questions and learn more about everyday life in the road maintenance department. Finally, Hannes Gumpinger takes the feedback from the students with them to make future excursions even more informative.
