Device assembler
The device assembler was until 31 August 2013, a state-approved apprenticeship for Vocational Training Act (Vocational Training Act). He was replaced on August 1, 2013 by the profession of specialist for metal technology.
Duration of training and structure
The training period for equipment assemblers is generally 18 months. The training takes place at the training company and vocational school .
The occupation is known as the “scrap metal occupation” because it existed before the Vocational Training Act came into force. He was recognized on October 2, 1939. According to Section 108 (1) BBiG, these professions are considered training professions within the meaning of Section 25 BBiG until regular training regulations are created.
Work areas
Device assemblers work in industrial manufacturing companies , for example in mechanical and plant engineering , for manufacturers of medical or electrical engineering . You can also work in vehicle construction . In these industries, they assemble devices and components for small machines.
development
The training regulations for the profession from 1939 were out of date. There was no training regulation with detailed content and modern examination requirements. The Federal Institute for Vocational Training (BiBB) therefore examined this and other professions in 2009 before the Vocational Training Act came into force.
In its investigation, the BiBB comes to the conclusion that these training occupations could be incorporated into a new training occupation with a focus or specialization . Specialist for metal technology was chosen as the working title . The profession could include a broad-based qualification base and differentiate into individual areas in the second year. Within this profession, the qualifications of a device assembler could be bundled together with those of the parts fitter and the machine assembler in a focus on "assembly technology".
It would also be conceivable that a trainee who has successfully completed his training as a specialist in metal technology can continue his training in a three or three and a half year industrial metal profession, e.g. B. as an industrial mechanic or process mechanic for plastics and rubber technology . The training time already completed should be taken into account. These considerations were implemented with the reorganization of the metal technology specialist.
