A company from the Tyrolean lowlands sets a good example. An apprentice shows what is possible with hard work despite learning difficulties. Jasmin Lagger from Schwaz is an excellent worker, raves her boss. Despite her learning difficulties, she has given her a chance with a part-qualification apprenticeship. And hasn't regretted it for a day.

"They took me for who I am. With all my strengths," says Jasmin Lagger about Tirolack Berghofer in Schwaz, the company where she trained and now works. This is her world: it smells of paint in the colorful store full of tubs and cans. The 23-year-old talks openly and with a slight smile about her work, her everyday life, from cleaning and sorting in the morning to mixing and talking to customers.
