A taster session with no obligation

What does a chemical laboratory assistant actually do? What is it like to work as a drainage technician? And what does it take to become a joiner? At the Industry Night, companies answer precisely these kinds of questions – not with a glossy brochure, but right there on the spot and first-hand.

Bachem in Bubendorf shows you how you can help shape the future of the chemical industry at this global player. You can look forward to exciting insights into three apprenticeship programmes: chemical and pharmaceutical technologist, chemical laboratory assistant and automation engineer. At the INRA Group in Pratteln, you’ll discover in a fun way just how varied the role of a plant and equipment engineer is. You’ll design on the computer using SolidWorks, learn about isometric drawings and technical plans, get an introduction to endoscopy using a specialised camera, and be introduced to various welding techniques.

Are you interested in electrical engineering and energy supply – career fields with a bright future? Then be sure to plan a visit to EBL and Etavis Kriegel+Co. At EBL, you’ll find out which professions ensure that energy and heat are generated and delivered safely and reliably to your home. Etavis Kriegel+Co. offers an insight into seven different careers, and you can take your first steps in electrical and building services engineering: build your own electrical switch with a lamp and use virtual reality to immerse yourself in a typical working day at Etavis.
