Polytechnician EFZ

Have you ever wondered how production machines are programmed and operated? Or perhaps you have always dreamt of being involved in the development, manufacture and assembly of tools, equipment parts or even entire production systems? Here at V-ZUG Ltd, we provide training that will take your career into the future.

Registration trial apprenticeship

Are you interested in one of our apprenticeships and would like to learn more about a specific profession? Then sign up for a trial apprenticeship.
To the registration

The production of tools will be one of your main areas of activity. You will use metals such as steel, chromium steel and aluminium along with plastics and composite materials to manufacture tools, individual components or even entire production systems. In single-item production or prototype construction you will work on lathes, milling machines, drilling machines and grinding machines. Most of the machinery you will work with will be computer-controlled, and you will work from the relevant construction drawings to programme them. You will also be responsible for selecting the necessary tools, equipping the machines and carrying out test runs. As soon as everything has been set up perfectly, you will allow production to commence while keeping a close eye on activities at all times. Once production is complete, you will use high-precision measuring and testing instruments to check the quality of each individual workpiece.

Training

The four-year training programme is divided into a basic training stage and an advanced training stage with a focus on prototype construction, the manufacture of tools and production equipment, and measurement technology. During your apprenticeship, you will have the opportunity to consolidate what you have learned across ten different departments, all while attending compulsory vocational school classes up to twice a week. You may also work towards your vocational school diploma (Berufsmatura) in parallel to your apprenticeship, after consulting V-ZUG Ltd.

"As a polymechanic, I always love seeing how a simple block of metal is turned into a precision part through my machining operations, such as milling and turning.What is my hands create is then used in various sophisticated machines in the production division." Amira Schumacher, apprentice polymechanic
