Taster Apprenticeship Automotive Specialist / Mechatronics Technician - Commercial Vehicles Sector

🔧 Passion instead of standard. Before you decide on an apprenticeship, you want to know what everyday life really feels like – not just how it sounds on paper. With us, you jump straight into the workshop for a week and get hands-on, instead of just watching.

For over 100 years, Gebr. Knecht AG has been training young talents. Owner-managed, family-oriented, at four locations in Switzerland – our commercial vehicle centre in Windisch is the place where you find out if working on trucks and buses is your thing.

• You join the team directly – no spectator role, but active participation
• Insight into service and maintenance work on commercial vehicles (brakes, tyres, oil and filter changes)
• First experience with tools, lifts and diagnostic devices
• You learn what a working day as an automotive specialist or mechatronics technician really looks like
• At the end of the week, you know if the apprenticeship suits you

• Interest in vehicles, technology and manual work
• Willingness to get stuck in rather than just watch
• Punctuality and reliability
• No prior knowledge needed – we show you everything
• Currently in 2nd or 3rd secondary school or looking for an apprenticeship

• 👀 Real workshop everyday life instead of glossy brochures – you see how it really works
• 🧑 🏫 Personal support from our training team throughout the week
• 🔩 Workshop at top level: modern lifts, diagnostic devices, short distances to spare parts
• 🤝 Direct contact with the team – you get to know your future colleagues before the apprenticeship
• 📄 Honest feedback at the end of the week about whether and how an apprenticeship with us could look for you

🤔 Why us – and not another company?

• A team that stays: Our long-standing employees speak for themselves – short distances and a family atmosphere are not just empty words with us
