Two associations in the wood industry are planning a joint training center in Lützelflüh. The first inter-company courses for aspiring joiners and carpenters are to be offered there from 2028.
The Bernese section of Holzbau Schweiz and the Bernese Master Carpenters Association are behind the project. According to their statement on Friday, the Lützelflüh location is suitable due to its good accessibility, synergy effects and structural and logistical possibilities, among other things.
The training center will be four stories high and will provide space for training rooms, specialized workshops and shared infrastructure. At the end of May, the Bernese carpenters had already approved a project loan of 250,000 francs. Now the woodworkers have followed suit and approved a loan of the same amount.
