«I think it's cool to work outside and inside»

After the taster programme, I started an apprenticeship as a beverage technologist, but I didn't continue due to the working conditions. I was then allowed to spend two weeks with my father's employer as a tinsmith and take on many different tasks. Somehow this rekindled the enthusiasm I had for sheet metal, aluminium, lead, copper and zinc as a young boy.

Winning the creative competition was an additional confirmation that tinsmithing is the right profession for me.

I was totally fascinated by working with these different materials. Without further ado, I asked if I could do an internship. Before it was over, I reported back to the office and applied for the apprenticeship. I was very lucky to get it. Thanks to the original emergency solution, I found my dream apprenticeship.

I think it's cool to work indoors and outdoors in different places. In our job, there are usually several approaches. We look at a problem in pairs, discuss it and finally decide on a course of action. This year, I won the creative competition at the national tinsmith day. That made me really happy. It was further confirmation that tinsmithing is the right profession for me.
