Plant a seed, watch it grow

To meet Eltwin Group’s growth targets, we need a talent pool large and educated enough to develop and build the sustainable solutions our customers require. To help foster that talent pool, we have a responsibility to provide young people with opportunities to develop.

It’s about investing in the future – for our company, the communities we are a part of, and society at large.

That’s why we take on apprentices each year. Thanks to the variation, responsibility, and camaraderie apprentices experience with us, Eltwin has gained a strong reputation at various vocational training institutions in Denmark.

One of Eltwin’s current electronic technician apprentices is Casper Leonhardt Løhde who is underway with the last year of his education.

“The feeling I have from talking to other apprentices at school is that you get a lot more responsibility and can work independently at Eltwin, and there are more opportunities for variation. You also get time to immerse yourself in your work and actually learn something,” he says.

Casper’s mentor at Eltwin is a living, breathing example of why training apprentices is winwin. Jørn Dahl Trans has been an electronic technician at Eltwin for over 30 years having initially learned his trade with us – the first apprentice to come through at Eltwin.

Now that he is helping the next generation of electronic technicians, Jørn is committed to providing his apprentices with broad work experience and ensuring they can work independently.

“We focus on giving the apprentices experience in all relevant departments, and we try to ensure that their responsibilities at Eltwin mirror what they are learning at school,” Jørn says.

“It feels good to share your own knowledge and experiences with young people to help prepare them for their future working lives.”

Nikolaj Elias Clausen is one of our newer electronic technician apprentices. He has been struck by his colleagues’ friendliness, while he has also enjoyed applying his classroom lessons to the real world.

“It’s more hands on at work,” Nikolaj says.

“There’s a lot of theory at school where we learn about the different components and products, but here at Eltwin we see a bit more how it all works in practice or in reality.”

In essence, this is the most important benefit of an apprenticeship.

“We will finish this education with genuine work experience, so we can start our career somewhere and get involved from Day One,” Casper says.
