The high level of risk present in the pharmaceutical industry has made many manufacturers hesitant to move away from paper documentation and embrace the total digitalization of the manufacturing plant. As drug patents expire, however, production efficiency becomes increasingly important. At COPA-DATA, we have developed our pharmaceutical manufacturing software zenon to help companies overcome industry challenges and optimize their processes using innovative technology.
Best apprentice employer
That’s why COPA-DATA was awarded for being the best apprentice employer in Salzburg in 2023.
All this is what we mean when we promise a “smart start”.
The COPA-DATA Training Program
Our apprentices start with a 2 week introduction, before they get all the basics in their first year. This initial training program includes, but isn’t limited to:
Basics of C programming
Basics of C++ programming
Basics of C# .NET programming
Working on automating our own facilities.
Introduction to the zenon software platform.
You will work independently and on real projects from the start. At the end of your apprenticeship, you get the opportunity to complete a temporary placement abroad in one of our international subsidiaries.

We simply offer you more, beyond the regular training plan.
