Mondi apprentices design award-winning mobile app

Two Mondi apprentices, Sebastian Weissenberger and Gerald Stöcklhuber, won 3^rd place in the category “Apps” (ages 15–18) for a Mondi-themed beta-phase app, which they developed at WKO Coding Day, an event sponsored by the Austrian Department of Commerce.

Fit4Internet (f4i) is a non-profit initiative that aims to improve digital competencies among the public and employees to enhance Austria’s status as a place to do business. Mondi Group CEO Peter Oswald was appointed as its first president.

Sebastian, one of the two winners, is now 19 years old and started his apprenticeship at Mondi in 2016. He works in maintenance as a mechatronics fitter. He said that his passion for coding developed long before the WKO Coding Day, but that he was happy to fulfil his ambition over the course of the competition.
