Are you fascinated by airplanes? If so, you may have wondered at some point how an airplane is actually built.
The answer lies not only in design or development, but above all in the people who work on it every day with their knowledge, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.
This is exactly where an apprenticeship at Junkers Aircraft and Kaelin Aero Technologies in Oberndorf am Neckar begins.
More Than Just an Apprenticeship
Training in the aviation industry means becoming part of a sector where precision and responsibility play a particularly important role. After all, this is where products are created that must meet the highest safety standards.
At Junkers Aircraft, modern ultralight aircraft are manufactured using the company’s signature all-metal construction. The brand’s roots trace back to Hugo Junkers, one of the most significant aviation pioneers of the 20th century. Today, the company combines this heritage with modern technology and state-of-the-art manufacturing methods.
Kaelin Aero Technologies operates at the same location. The company specializes in aircraft structural engineering, development, repair, and restoration, as well as the manufacture of complex aircraft components. The two companies work closely together, a collaboration from which apprentices also benefit.
