The Kundl native received the coveted award from the province of Tyrol on Thursday. Her career is set to continue with great ambition. Her competitors for the title were also present at the ceremony in the Landhaus.

Anna Eliskases from Kundl was overjoyed on Thursday evening. The budding office administrator from TKM Werbung-Events-Fotografie was named "Apprentice of the Year 2023" at the 22nd Apprentice Gala Night at the Landhaus. "For me, it is a great honor and at the same time a confirmation that I made the right decision," she explained yesterday in an interview with the "Krone".

The Kundl native nominated herself. It was published on her school's website that pupils had already applied the previous year. It is all the more pleasing for her that, in addition to the Apprentice of the Month award, she has now also been named Apprentice of the Year.

Award for committed and talented apprentices
The award is one of several highlights of the province's apprenticeship campaign. LR Astrid Mair presented Eliskases with the coveted prize on Thursday. "Anna Eliskases has more than earned this title thanks to her outstanding academic achievements and extraordinary commitment in the company as well as her extensive voluntary work in the village community." At the same time, Mair emphasized that with the help of tomorrow's skilled workers, the Tyrol can be secured as a business location for the future.

I don't have an exact picture of what will happen in the future. But many doors are open to me. I am ambitious, so I want to keep moving upwards. It's clear that I want to stay in this field.

AK President Erwin Zangerl confirms that a good apprenticeship is the basis for one's own livelihood: "Anyone who completes an apprenticeship in Tyrol can assume that they will receive a sound education. That's why we need to showcase the achievements and skills of young people."
