Wind Turbine Technician Apprentice

Klaas deliberately chose an apprenticeship that combines technology with environmental protection. In this interview, he shares his experiences and offers advice for newcomers.

Why did you decide on this career?

I wanted a versatile job that combines action and technology while also benefiting our environment. This apprenticeship offers exactly that.

Did you bring anything personal with you?

Just the essentials for daily life. Personal pictures or decorations aren’t allowed in the dorm, which takes some getting used to.

How often can you go home?

During the first phase of the apprenticeship, I go home almost every weekend. Once we start working offshore, it will only be every two weeks.

What do you like most about the apprenticeship so far?

The unique work environment and the variety of tasks – it’s exactly how I imagined it. It’s never boring.

Do you have any tips for future apprentices?

Be open, reach out to others, and don’t hesitate to ask questions. It makes life so much easier in every situation.
