“Distinguished training company” for the eighth time
Doppelmayr has held the title of “Distinguished
training company” ever since the
Province of Vorarlberg first launched the award
in 1997. In November 2018, the company received
the accolade for the eighth time. The
title remains valid for three years, which means
that Doppelmayr can reapply for it in 2021.
Since the company was founded, Doppelmayr
has always attached great importance to the
vocational training of young people. The leading
ropeway expert is currently training 107 apprentices
in the various trades that are required
in the fi eld of ropeway construction: electrical
and metal engineering, mechatronics, IT and
design engineering. Doppelmayr apprentices
get to work on actual orders at an early stage
and acquire a lot of experience in different
departments and areas – every year they
achieve excellent results in the Vorarlberg
apprentices' skills competitions.
Brief outline of the award
A training company has to meet a host of criteria
before it is awarded the title of “Distinguished
training company”. The accolade is generally
given to companies and institutions that demonstrate
excellence in their apprentice training.
Items examined include how subject matter is
taught, the success of apprentice training, the
commitment to those with learning diffi culties or
disadvantaged youngsters and the further training
of instructors. Representatives of the award
commission visit the training companies to obtain
an exact picture of the training given to youngsters.
At the present time, the title is held by
391 companies in Vorarlberg – 20 percent of all
training companies.
