A Neuchâtel gold medal at the SwissSkills. Yvan Bally distinguished himself at the end of October in Schaffhausen. The young 19-year-old heating installer from Fontainemelon won first prize in his category at the Swiss Building Technology Championships. Fifty-six candidates competed from October 23 to 27 to win a medal. Yvan Bally obtained his CFC this summer. He explained on Tuesday in “La Matinale” that the SwissSkills tests were similar to the end-of-apprenticeship tests. “The heating engineer’s goal is to bring heat to homes. The heat is brought by steel pipes which are worked in a certain way to be able to pass almost everywhere. » The young graduate wanted to thank his trainer, the Gabus company, for his support. “I had very good trainers who really taught me the business. And I think that’s one of the big points that made the difference (editor’s note: in obtaining the medal). I was supported. » Yvan Bally decided to do an apprenticeship to quickly enter working life. He likes the job “because it’s physical. And I also like the technical side. There is a whole side where we have to think.” /sma
