For your future
Enable your apprentices to perform at their best. The most important tool for this: KNOWLEDGE. From the practice – for the practice!
WESTCAM has been offering “WESTCAMPs” since 2021. These are specialized & compact technical training modules for apprentices.
The knowledge content covers the practice-relevant specialist disciplines along the digital process chain: From design & construction to simulation and production through to quality assurance.
The WESTCAMP is to a certain extent the link between the company and the vocational school. This is where “knowledge & practice” is taught on an inter-company and holistic level. “The best of both worlds”, so to speak, where sound technological knowledge meets decades of practical experience. You and your apprentices will benefit from this “best of”!
