APPRENTICESHIP & TRAINING
We train: material tester (m/f) with the discipline metal technology
Since several years already has Werkstoffprüfung Kunze been given young people the chance to take an apprenticeship. Even though not all of them can be employed, the apprentices learn everything about material testing so that they can work in all areas of the steel- and material industry (for example car industry, naval architecture, off-shore-technique, etc.).
Functional knowledge is very important nowadays for professional economic success. That’s why at Material Testing Kunze we have established internal as well as external upgrade training courses, to be up to date with the latest news in test engineering and norms.
