YOUR APPRENTICESHIP IN SIGHT!

PATRICK BERGER

My name is Patrick Berger, and I have the privilege of serving as the Apprenticeship Coordinator at Steyr Arms.

My professional journey started with an apprenticeship as a production technician, which laid the foundation for my career. Subsequently, I pursued and successfully completed a master craftsman qualification in mechanical engineering and industrial technology. Today, I am entrusted with responsibilities in both apprenticeship training and production planning and control at Steyr Arms.

My primary objective is to support young individuals as they embark on their apprenticeships, ensuring a smooth and successful transition into their professional careers. Throughout their training, I am committed to being a reliable point of contact and a source of guidance for our future specialists. I firmly believe that the comprehensive training we offer, which combines vocational education, hands-on experience in our training workshop at Steyr Automotive, and practical exposure within our company, provides an exceptional foundation for a successful career.
