01.09.2026: Apprenticeship Start 2026

Töging, September 1, 2026 – Six young people are starting their careers at Spangler Automation, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in their lives.

On Tuesday, September 1, five new apprentices and a student on a dual study programme in Electrical and Information Technology started their careers at Spangler Automation. Their first day was all about settling in and getting to know the company and their new colleagues: new faces, exciting first impressions and plenty of information about their apprenticeships and the company.

Structured Training for the Best Possible Development

“Our apprentice as office management assistant will rotate through several departments during her apprenticeship. Our four apprentices as electronics technicians for automation and systems technology will initially complete a six-week intensive training programme. This provides them with important fundamentals before they go on to develop further technical expertise in our specialist departments and contribute to projects,” explains Training Manager Teresa Wittmann.

With its structured training programme, Spangler Automation ensures that apprentices acquire comprehensive professional skills in their respective occupations while receiving the best possible support for their development. Spangler also offers all apprentices aged 18 and over the opportunity to complete a four-week work placement in Ireland. The placement is planned in close consultation with the apprentices and gives them valuable international experience.

A Future with Prospects

An apprenticeship at Spangler offers excellent prospects for a secure future. “Almost 40% of our current employees started their careers with an apprenticeship at the company,” says Managing Director Christian Brandmüller, highlighting the importance of vocational training at Spangler Automation.

“Exciting projects and a positive working environment mean that many apprentices are happy to stay with Spangler after completing their training – and from there, career development within the company often follows naturally,” says Johannes Baier, who is now a Team Leader and Deputy Head of the Technical Department, describing his own career path. He also began his professional career with an apprenticeship at Spangler and has remained with the company ever since.
