Apprentice training & training shop
We have remained loyal to our line of training apprentices for many years and constantly invest in the high-quality training stets of our young and motivated apprentices. Meanwhile the company HORN has trained more than 120 apprentices since 1985 and without exception they have successfully concluded their apprenticeships. That means our success rate is 100%.
Modern training shop
You will probably find one of the most modern training shops in Austria on our premises. What is really great is the optimal coordination we provide between the training shop and production. After basic training in the training shop, work is allowed immediately in production. Primarily your trainer is responsible for your training. He is intensively supported by our production managers. They can all fall back on years of practice and some have already completed their apprenticeship with us.
Horn is a
State Approved Training Company
Since the autumn of 2013 we are also proud to be a “State Approved Training Company” as per §30a of the Vocational Training Act. This honour was awarded to us by the Trade and Industry Secretary of that time, Dr. Mitterlehner in the Marble Hall in the Department of Trade and Industry. Very few companies receive this award and it confirms the exceptional quality of our training.
In June 2021, we were honored with the TRIGOS Styria award in the category “Regional Value Creation” – the most prestigious recognition for responsible business practices – in part for our decades of dedicated apprenticeship training efforts.
Metal technician
Module mechanical engineering
Mechanical engineering technicians repair, assemble, and build machines and systems, and put them into operation. The focus of the apprenticeship is on assembling and welding machine parts, as well as on tank and vessel construction. They work with metals and operate computer-controlled systems and devices. Their work involves metalworking processes such as milling, drilling, turning, thread cutting, welding, and soldering.
Metal technician
Module machining
Machining technicians produce metal and plastic components while using metal and chipping cutting work processes. They process the workpieces on conventional machines or operate computer-controlled (CNC) plants. Their products include components and machine parts such as axles, shafts, bearings, bolts and gears. They plan the work steps, select the necessary materials and reference parts and manufacture the workpieces according to technical plans and specifications.

Apprenticeship period
A metal technician apprenticeship takes 3 ½ years. In the first three years, nine weeks and in the last half-apprenticeship-year 4 weeks are spent in the Knittelfeld vocational school. If a 3-year technical school (e.g. agriculture and forestry school) is attended, the apprenticeship time is shortened to 2 ½ years.
