FMT Ferro Technik and seven leading companies in the Austrian city of Wels have joined together to form a training association that supports pupils seeking both an apprenticeship and school leaving qualification. Through this program, FMT offers its apprentices the opportunity to plan their path to a school leaving qualification flexibly, so that it fits alongside their apprenticeships, and meets their needs precisely. Working towards both an apprenticeship and school leaving certificate at the same time has been possible in Austria since 2008; the newly-formed training association includes the training institute BFI Upper Austria, which brings with it its expertise in this field.
