Your Apprenticeship

Do you want an apprenticeship at a recession-proof employer where you are not just a number? Do you have a passion for training where you will be promoted and can learn something new every day? A job for the coolest city in Vorarlberg?

Like no other company, we offer a wide range of training opportunities in various departments of the administration and the city's operations for different apprenticeship positions. A significant part of the apprenticeship in the city administration is also dedicated to "looking beyond the horizon." Our apprentices should not only learn about their field of work, but also get an insight into all areas of the city's tasks.

The City of Dornbirn has been awarded the title "Excellent Apprentice Company" since 2004. Over 100 apprentices have completed their training in recent years. Many of them are still successfully employed in the City's service.
