State Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner invited interested apprentices directly to the state parliament. Fifty of our apprentices from Lower Austria responded to this call on Thursday morning. ‘It is very important to us to support young people in their professional development. The visit of the BILLA apprentices to the state parliament shows how important dialogue between young people and politicians is. Together, we are shaping the future of Lower Austria,’ emphasises Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner.
The apprentices, as well as sales directors, sales managers, market managers and the apprentice and young talent development team, were warmly welcomed to the State Parliament by State Councillor Teschl-Hofmeister, representing State Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner, and enjoyed an informative tour of the historic building.
‘I am delighted to welcome the BILLA apprentices to the state parliament. Encounters like this promote exchange and raise awareness of the importance of education and commitment in society,’ adds State Councillor Christiane Teschl-Hofmeister.
Our apprentices are not only the specialists and managers of tomorrow, they are also the heart of our diverse teams. It is a great honour for us to support these committed young talents during their training. We are enthusiastic about investing in their development, promoting them not only professionally but also personally. By teaching them the necessary skills and knowledge, we are paving the way for a successful career while strengthening the values that BILLA represents," said Stefan Weinlich, BILLA Sales Director in Lower Austria.
Eric Scharnitz, BILLA Sales Director in Burgenland, emphasised: ‘As one of the largest training companies in the country, our goal is to train our apprentices not only professionally, but also as active participants in society. We want to encourage them to participate in social discourse.’
Hamed Mohseni, BILLA Sales Director in Vienna, added: ‘Our BILLA apprentices are the future of our company and an indispensable part of our teams. We are proud to be able to support them on their training path.’
