First Apprentice Camp – Forest Project Week

They were accompanied during the week by the Bildungswerkstatt Bergwald. The association offers week-long forest workshops for school groups and companies.The apprentices and trainers gathered on Sunday evening before being brought to their accommodation, the St. Josefsdörfli, by the leaders of the program. The Dörfli is a little north of Einsiedeln and comprises several houses. The apprentices were split into two groups, the “Greenteam” and the “Akazuki”. The two teams spent each day working at different locations, changing each day. Activities included the installation of seven differential locks over a stream, building a fence, removing bark from trees to fight bark beetles and clearing branches from the sides of the road. The evenings were variously organized by the groups, vocational instructors or Bildungswerkstatt Bergwald. Afterwards, participants could have fun in the entertainment room, where ping pong, table football and other games were available.The work was very varied and the apprentices had to draw on their physical strength rather than simply sitting around in the office. They headed home on Friday evening with a lot of great memories.

Sensirion offers a variety of apprenticeships. New vacancies will be posted shortly. You can find more detailed information on our website.
