Masterful finishing touches with Sikkens
As is well known, masters do not fall from heaven. However, at Wifi Tirol, bodybuilders can receive comprehensive training and preparation to become master craftsmen every two years. This year, 16 participants successfully completed the master course and received the master title after passing the exam. AkzoNobel VR Austria was there again as a material sponsor.
"It is already a long-standing tradition that AkzoNobel sponsors our master classes with paint products. Without this support, the course costs would be significantly higher. In this way, we can keep the costs for the participants lower and increase the chances of further professional training. We would therefore like to thank you very much for this support," explains Elmar Veternik, product manager for further training at Wifi at the Tyrol Chamber of Commerce. But Veternik values the partnership with AkzoNobel not only because of the cost cap. The paint manufacturer also has application technicians available for painting training, who train the body masters of tomorrow with lots of helpful tips in theory and practice. "The trainers familiarize our graduates with the latest techniques and standards. This is particularly valuable for the quality of our courses and makes an important contribution to the high quality of the bodywork trade," says Elmar Veternik.
"Promoting young talent in the trades is a fundamental component of our company values. We want to help ensure that the training and quality in the trades is correct and always corresponds to the latest state of the art. That's why the partnership with further training institutions such as Wifi Tirol is very important to us. We can be proud of the high level of our craft and should maintain it together so that the craft continues to have golden ground," says Daniel Kapeller, Sales Manager AkzoNobel Austria.
