Mercedes-Benz Academy students are the best in the country

For years, students participating in the Mercedes-Benz dual vocational training have been achieving outstanding results in the multi-round professional competition organized by the Ministry of Culture and Innovation and the Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in which 11,900 applicants from nearly 60 professions participated in 2025. Mercedes-Benz Academy Kecskemét was one of the companies hosting the competition this year as well.

This year, 9 students competed in the national competition series under the colors of the Kecskemét car factory. At the Closing Ceremony, two members of the Mercedes-Benz team received the 1st and 2nd place awards in the tool and equipment manufacturing profession.

Tool and equipment manufacturing profession:

1. Richárd Farkas

2. Tamás Dorogi

“The Mercedes-Benz Academy Kecskemét is one of the most modern training centers in Hungary, where nearly 750 dual vocational students have successfully graduated since its opening. Here, our students learn the basics of their profession and develop their knowledge in a production-oriented environment, sometimes on extremely complex equipment. Our students have been participating in the Szakma Sztár Festival for 10 years and have achieved numerous podium finishes – this is a great recognition of the dual training form, the instructors and the students alike, year after year. We are proud of them and would like to congratulate them!”
