Trial apprenticeships and traineeships
A traineeship with Wild & Küpfer is among the best training references in the plastics industry.
For autumn 2025, we are again offering apprenticeships for plastics technologists and polymechanics.
Polymechanic 
Four-year apprenticeship
Polymechanics produce components, manufacture moulds and mechanisms for production or assemble appliances, equipment, machines or systems. Working together with other experts, they process orders or projects, build prototypes and conduct experiments. They are involved in commissioning and in planning and monitoring production processes and they carry out maintenance work.
Requirements:
- Craftsmanship
- Good technical flair
- Good spatial imagination
- Logical thinking
- Enjoyment of mathematics and geometry
- Clean and precise work
- Perseverance and a sense of responsibility
- Adequate level of academic skills
Swissmechanic courses (GZB Ziegelbrücke):
- Introductory course on Manual Manufacturing Technology, 12 days
- Introductory course on Machine Manufacturing Technology, 22 days
- Introductory course on Assembly Technology, 9 days
- Introductory course on CNC Technology, 12 days
Vocational college:
BWZ, Rapperswil www.bwz-rappi.ch
Polymechanic, Level G (basic requirements): adequate level of academic skills
Polymechanic, Level E (extended requirements): high level of academic skills
Subjects:
General knowledge, mathematics, IT, learning and working methodology, physics and chemistry, technical English, materials and manufacturing technology, drawing and machining technology, sports
Plastics technologist
Four-year apprenticeship
Plastics technologists are specialists who know what plastics are made of, how they are processed and where they are used. Plastic products are manufactured on high-tech injection moulding machines, which plastics technologists set up and reset using their specialist know-how and on which they conduct sampling and optimisation runs with new moulds until the products are ready for series production. With their mechanical skills, they are able to manufacture peripheral equipment themselves and use it in connection with handling robots, and to program these robots themselves so as to achieve a perfect and cost-effective process.
Requirements:
- Craftsmanship
- Good technical flair
- Good spatial imagination
- Logical thinking
- Enjoyment of mathematics and geometry
- Clean and precise work
- Perseverance and a sense of responsibility
