The contents of the training:

Media designers complete a versatile training in our company in the fields of consulting, planning, design, technology, conception and visualization.

For a precise work result, drafts and exact calculations are important in order to meet the customer's requirements. For this to work, you have to think your way into the ideas of others.
Organization plays an important role in the work of a media designer: The time required is determined, production steps must be planned and work documents and order data compiled. It is important hereby to pay attention to the specific quality criteria and media-compatible regulations. Now, a decision is made for a suitable production process. The production processes must be constantly monitored, the colors checked and test samples made. The customer is presented with a flawless product and the project is successfully completed.

In the first half of the training, you will learn the necessary design basics such as proportion, color, contrast, the rules of typography and legal principles. You will also be familiarized with the company's software and will go through all production steps up to the finished product. You will then take an intermediate exam.

The second half of the training will be for the specialization. Instructions are created, order targets set, data compressed and projects planned. Images and graphics are constantly being edited to optimize the results.

In addition to the theory, you will get to experience the everyday working life in all departments, which is filled with tasks that have to be completed, challenges that arise, and you will get to see how great it feels when a project is successfully completed.

Once you have gone through all this and had fun while doing it, you will take the final examination, for which we will prepare you well in cooperation with the vocational school.

Together through the apprenticeship

If you add up all apprenticeship years and training occupations, a total of 45 apprentices are learning at our site. This is a big team and in the truest sense of the word, too. In addition to joint activities and annual excursions, the individual trainees rely on each other every day in their various training occupations. The work processes run hand in hand, which is why it is all the more important to know and understand one another:
The red warning signal of the floor production plant lights up. Machine and system operator Elias detects a fault in the system – a sensor holder is defective He discusses the further course of action together with the industrial mechanic Lukas and the electronics technician for industrial engineering Leon.
Industrial mechanic Lukas takes the sensor holder to the workshop to repair it. He then attaches it to the system and hands it over to Leon. The electronics technician for industrial engineering now adjusts the sensor correctly using a laser. After the machine and system operator restarts production, industrial management assistant Luzie can be sure that the ordered laminate is produced as planned and loaded onto the truck. She transmits her goods transport to Lukas, specialist for warehouse logistics. He can load the order and send it on its way to the customer.
