Wörthersee Project: Nine Volkswagen apprentices and a Golf GTI

Nine young people “tune” a very special show car for Volkswagen

Wolfsburg, 13 May 2012 - Apprentices come to Volkswagen to become automotive mechatronics technicians, automotive painters, interior fitters and process mechanics. In fall 2011, nine of Volkswagen’s very best apprentices got a special commission from the Board of Management: They were asked to design and build a Golf GTI. The 2012 apprentices’ version of the Golf GTI will be one of the top highlights at the Volkswagen stand during the Wörthersee GTI meet in Reifnitz, Austria, on May 31. Bernd Osterloh, Chairman of the Volkswagen General Works Council, stated: "Young people have a passion for cars and are deeply committed when it comes to realizing their own ideas. Our nine apprentices, who as a team have developed a remarkable project, bear witness to that."
