Since 2014, the company NBS AG, Nickel Betriebsanlagen + Systeme, has been intensively involved in the training of talented students from Frei's Schulen in Lucerne. As a training company, NBS AG offers the young athletes the opportunity to optimally combine competitive sports and vocational training. In addition to the Frei's Talent School, the apprentices attend their sports training sessions as well as sporting events and complete their internship at the company at the same time. "The coordination between the apprenticeship company, school and sport must function perfectly in order to offer the young talent all the possibilities and opportunities for the future," says Jörg Nickel, Managing Director of NBS AG and member of the board of Verdia AG (the placement agency for the trainees).

NBS intern makes the leap into the professional league

Stefan Knezevic started his apprenticeship at the company NBS AG in February 2014 as 1st trainee. After successfully completing his apprenticeship, he received a professional contract as a footballer with FC Lucerne. Since then, NBS AG has been looking after one trainee from the Lucerne talent school every new semester, and since February 2018, even two trainees have been taken on. In recognition of this commitment, NBS AG has now been awarded the Swiss Olympic "Performance Sport Friendly Teaching Company" label for the 2018/2019 teaching year.
