Elena Krüger

Elena decided on a vocational path rather than university after a school internship with an HVAC company sparked her interest. She specifically applied to Klima-Tech Schmidt because of their reputation for quality training. She is currently in her second year of the 3.5-year apprenticeship program, dividing her time between practical work and vocational school.

Experience: Apprentice with 1.5 years experience in training (1/10)

Favorite Jobs

• Assisting with heat pump installations
• Learning CAD design for ventilation systems
• Maintenance checks

I love that this trade combines so many different skills – from physics and technical drawing to manual craftsmanship and even customer communication. I'm particularly interested in renewable heating systems because they seem like the future of our industry.

Physical Condition

Physically fit and enthusiastic, though today she's tired after an intensive theoretical exam at vocational school yesterday. Her youth and fitness help her recover quickly from the physical demands of the job.

Favorite Place

Elena's favorite place is the workshop floor at vocational school where she practices pipefitting and sheet metal work alongside other apprentices. The combination of learning new skills, friendly competition with peers, and seeing her craftsmanship improve each week gives her immense satisfaction. She appreciates how the workshop environment allows her to make controlled mistakes and learn from them without the pressure of a client job site.
