Felix Richter

Felix joined Elektro-Wolf as an apprentice after completing his secondary education with strong performance in mathematics and physics. He was drawn to the electrical trade after a career exploration program where he showed natural aptitude for electrical systems. Coming from a family of academics, his choice of a trade career initially surprised his parents, but his enthusiasm for hands-on work and the technical challenges of modern electrical systems quickly convinced them of his suitable career path.

Experience: 1.5 years as an apprentice with rapidly developing skills (1/10)

Favorite Jobs

• Residential wiring installations
• Smart home system setup
• Assisting with renewable energy installations

What surprised me most about this apprenticeship is how much creativity is involved in finding elegant solutions to installation challenges. I'm fascinated by how electrical systems are becoming increasingly integrated with digital technology, creating opportunities to specialize in areas that barely existed a decade ago.

Physical Condition

Felix sustained a moderate wrist injury last week when a power tool slipped during an installation. The injury is wrapped in a supportive brace and causes occasional pain during certain movements, requiring him to adjust his technique and occasionally ask for assistance with tasks requiring full wrist mobility.

Favorite Place

Felix's favorite place is the vocational school's electrical laboratory where apprentices can experiment with various control systems and automation technologies. The state-of-the-art facility provides hands-on experience with equipment that many small electrical companies don't regularly work with, allowing him to develop specialized skills beyond his on-the-job training. He appreciates the collaborative atmosphere where apprentices from different companies can exchange knowledge and solve complex electrical problems together in a low-pressure learning environment.
