In 1986, Maria Farago started at Flex as an apprentice trainee. Nearly four decades later, she's still here — now in Inside Sales, and mentoring the next generation of apprentices coming up the same path she did. Maria's story is a powerful example of what makes apprenticeships such a strong foundation for careers in manufacturing. Switzerland's dual vocational training system pairs hands-on workplace learning with formal education — and for Maria, it opened the door to a career that's grown and evolved alongside the company. It's also a story of flexibility. As her life evolved, so did her career path. Working part-time while raising a family allowed Maria to stay connected to the workplace and continue building a long, sustainable career. Today, she guides commercial apprentices from day one, passing on the three skills she credits most: clear communication, reliability, and a commitment to never stop learning.
