Marco Blatnik from Spittal an der Drau, Austria was drawn away from the small town to global company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After graduating from the BRG Higher Secondary School Spittal and then graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Telematics \/ Network Technology from the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences, the Carinthian began his professional career as an IT specialist in systems integration where he set up a hospital information system among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy degree program really brought me a lot, and among other things, I was able, with the support of the university, to write both my bachelor work and master thesis at Airbus. This got me my job\u201d, says Blatnik. Since a one-year stay at the Airbus facility near Ingolstadt was already planned during the Communication Engineering master program, a number of hurdles had to be overcome in order to successfully complete his degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI received extensive support from the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences as well as my fellow students, so that I could attend lectures \u2013 on-line and distance, self-study or condensed as in-person block lessons. Thus, I was able to successfully complete my studies,\u201d says Blatnik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His stay didn\u2019t stop after a year. Marco Blatnik has now been with Airbus Defence and Space since 2021 and has determinedly climbed his career ladder and has worked on many future-oriented projects, some of them as the project leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In October 2018, he climbed one more step on his career ladder and is presently in this position. Blatnik is currently a Chief Engineer at the Airbus Drone Lab and with his team, he works on military and civil projects for the aerospace industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When he is not working on new aerospace projects, he relaxes by wakeboarding. \u201cI would recommend studying at the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences because it offers a multi-faceted education that has helped me a lot in my previous positions,\u2019 says Blatnik.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
