Enable your apprentices to perform at their best. The most important tool for this: KNOWLEDGE. From the practice – for the practice! WESTCAM has been offering “WESTCAMPs” since 2021. These are specialized & compact technical training modules for apprentices.

The curriculum covers the practice-oriented disciplines along the digital process chain: from design and engineering through simulation and manufacturing to quality assurance.WESTCAMP serves, in a sense, as the link between the workplace and vocational school. Here, “knowledge and practice” are taught on an inter-company and holistic level. “The best of both worlds,” so to speak, where in-depth technological knowledge meets decades of practical experience. You and your apprentices will benefit from this “best of” approach!
