Twice within a short period, ÖBB apprentices were able to achieve first place in competitions organized by the Chamber of Commerce. At this year's Lower Austrian Apprentice Hackathon of the Lower Austrian Chamber of Commerce, digital know-how and programming skills were, once again, in demand. Apps created by apprentices themselves were submitted and evaluated by a jury. The best of these were awarded prizes. ÖBB was at the start with two teams from the St. Pölten apprenticeship workshop and managed to convince them twice.

Repair exchange and learning apps
The respective apps were submitted in three different categories. In the "Professionals" category, the ÖBB apprentices were able to claim the first two places.
Thomas Mayer and Maximilian Tragl were able to completely convince the jury with their app for a repair exchange of defective machines and devices and took first place.
The second team with Raffael Riedl and Lukas Mattes programmed a digital learning and information platform for ÖBB apprentices and applicants and took second place.
The presentation of both apps is available here via video.
Viennese ÖBB apprentices are also successful
ÖBB was also successful in the apprentice competition of the Vienna Chamber of Commerce: Walid Sultani from the apprentice workshop in Vienna is the new state winner in the metal category, and Selina Witasek came in third. Both had to make stamping tools during the competition. They were presented to a jury.
