In wood technology, we make products that people are genuinely waiting for. Window frames, dormers, holiday homes, modular housing… you name it. There is and will always be plenty of work. And AI is not going to change that. Because nothing can replace you as a wood technician.
A cheerful atmosphere of hard work
In a typical wood technology company, there is a cheerful atmosphere of hard work, thinking for yourself, and plenty of room for fun with colleagues. You work with a beautiful material that offers endless possibilities. Generally, you are comfortably working indoors. So, you don’t have to suffer from wind, rain, or heat like you do in standard construction.
Versatile
Wood technology is incredibly versatile: you combine creativity and technology to create essential components for modern residential housing. From doors and window frames to dormers, staircases, and timber framing.
Every workday, you head home with pride. Because you have made something genuinely useful with your hands. And every month, a nice amount hits your bank account. Does it all sound too good to be true? Go take a look for yourself at a training company or school in your area.
Take the next step: visit an open day or try a work placement
Visiting an Open Day is always a smart move to get a feel for your future. If you are interested in the BBL pathway (combining 4 days of work with 1 day of school), simply select ‘Alles’ (All) in the search module below to see a complete list of Regional Training Companies (ROBs) and MBO colleges in your area. You can easily find where and when to go by clicking through to their websites.
Want to experience a real workday first? You can also arrange a hands-on work placement day by contacting a local ROB, and they will help you find the perfect spot. Furthermore, if you are pursuing the CS (certificates stacking) pathway, a Regional Training Company is essential. Filter by ‘alleen ROB’ (ROB only) in the search tool to connect with an education company nearby that can link you directly with potential employers and apprenticeship companies.
