Studer proudly announces that its apprentice Josia Langhart won the bronze medal in the category mechatronic (automation) at the WorldSkills Championships 2019, held last 23-26 August in Kazan, Russia. The 18 y.o. Langhart, automation engineer who is completing his training at Studer, took the third place on the podium with his team partner Raphael Furrer, behind Taiwan and China and winning the bronze medal together with the teams from Japan and Brazil.
During the competition the young automation engineers had to assemble various modular orders to form a single system with the aid of plans and documentation. While many of their competitors failed due to the time constraints, the duo completed their tasks with flying colors and ‘Swiss precision’. The Swiss apprentices prepared intensively for this competition, supported by their employers as well as by Swissmen and the SwissSkills Foundation.
The Foundation not only coordinates the Swiss Championships and participation in the WorldSkills Championships, but prepares the young people for the competitions to a high professional standard in seminars and camps, as well as providing them with support in-situ.
