The Minister for National Economy has allocated more than HUF 154 million for the Hungarian subsidiary of Opel to help fund a vocational training centre. As a result, the company can increase the number of apprentices by fifty and it will also add to the teaching staff.

In addition to the electricians and drilling mechanics, the enlarged and upgraded vocational training centre will also host courses for automation and mechatronic technicians. The company has pledged to use the facility for vocational training and keep the number of apprentices at a certain level for at least five years. Through this project, the company underpins the training of the future labour force and dual education in the Western Hungary region.

Opel Szentgotthárd Ltd has been producing car engines and components for more than 20 years. The company has placed strong emphasis on the high-level education of employees and the training of young labour force.
