Vocational training of the technical college in projects

The educational training of the technical college takes place on a project-related basis. As an example: The first project  involves the production of metalic structures (such as the use of solar panels or lattice masts which can run a wind turbine).

Another project includes the installation of solar systems on the metalic structures or the installation of rotor heads on the lattice masts in order to generate energy through wind power.

Knowledge in the fields of metal- and synthetic techniques, electrical engineering and propulsion techniques is being imparted.
