What will the future bring?
Where can future be learned?
Which technologies will we use?
This project focuses on one question: How do you find the best employees in the future? For a company to develop successfully, it needs people with an analytical mindset who understand how to work with materials. Creative minds are required who can develop innovative concepts, and team players with social intelligence are needed. "The Next World Project" aims to promote precisely these skills in young people.
In addition, an expansion of the internal training center is being planned in the area of apprentice training. The "Next World Academy" will not only train Fill apprentices, but the premises will also be available to other companies that may no longer be training apprentices themselves. Implementation of the "Next World Academy" is planned by 2027.
THE NEXT WORLD ACADEMY
lern, discover, interact
The most modern training center for technical professions in Austria.
Is this your future?
Not all technology is the same. You can work out which apprenticeship is the right one for you at our Fill taster days. You can discover the different divisions of our company. You can even get involved in small projects and find out where your future lies. To recharge your batteries for the second half of the day, we invite you to join us for lunch in the Fill restaurant.
