New technical school for environmental protection technology: future for Miltenberg!

What is happening in the area around Miltenberg-Obernburg? Big news in the education sector: Finance Minister Albert Füracker and Education Minister Anna Stolz have approved the establishment of a new state technical school for environmental protection technology and renewable energies. This innovative educational institution will be the northernmost location in Bavaria for training in this important area and is expected to start operations in the 2026/2027 school year, as stmfh.bayern.de reports.

The technical school will become part of the Miltenberg-Obernburg vocational schools and aims to train specialists who can develop innovative solutions in environmental protection and the use of renewable energies. Here, future technicians can obtain their qualifications as “state-certified technicians for environmental protection technology and renewable energies”.

Career prospects

Further training to become a technician is aimed not only at recent school graduates, but also at specialists from related areas. These include professions such as chemistry, electrical engineering, metal technology and special professions such as building materials testers, chimney sweeps and farmers. Companies in the region can look forward to new and qualified employees who will bring a breath of fresh air to middle management levels.

But what exactly will the aspiring technicians learn? The focus of the training is on sustainable development, fair trade and careful use of resources. Graduates will be able to manage environmental management systems and develop renewable energy concepts and environmentally oriented systems. Important topics such as energy supply concepts and environmental law basics are also on the curriculum, supplemented by numerous compulsory subjects in natural sciences and technology, as eckert-schulen.de shows.

Financial support and admission

The further training measure is not only of high quality, but is also financially supported. The costs can be reduced significantly through the advancement BAföG. A subsidy of 50% is granted for the course fee totaling 11,880 euros and an examination fee of 350 euros. This reduces the actual costs for the participants to just 3,057.50 euros, minus a master's bonus of 3,000 euros, leaving a remaining amount of just 57.50 euros! A real bargain for anyone who wants to further their education in this promising area.

The requirements for admission are also manageable. Those interested must have a vocational school diploma and completed vocational training and must be able to demonstrate at least one year of employment in a relevant profession or five years in a relevant position. This means that nothing stands in the way of a career in environmental protection technology and renewable energies.

In conclusion, we can say: In Miltenberg-Obernburg, something is not only being done for the environment, but also for the professional future of many people. The new technical school will ensure that Bavaria can continue to play a pioneering role in the area of ​​environmental protection and renewable energies in the coming years.
