Bacher's influence on vocational training

As the chairman of Vida, Friedrich Schinagl, emphasizes, Bacher's commitment was crucial for the training of young people in this area. Before his efforts, cable car was only considered auxiliary worker, which severely restricted their professional opportunities.
The official approval for the training attempt by the 'cable car man' was obtained in 2008, which finally led to the creation of the control profession 'cable car technology' in 2012. These changes now enable apprentices to become qualified specialists, which is a significant upgrading for the entire industry.
Schinagl expressed his melancholy about Bacher's resignation, but at the same time expressed his confidence that Andreas Hochwimmer, who takes the next steps in the union, will successfully continue his predecessor. Hochwimmer not only brings experience from his function in the works council of the Bergbahnen Kitzbühel, but has also been active in the KV committee since 2006, where he has already supported Bacher.
The transfer of responsibility underlines the positive spirit of cooperation within the industry.
