The future takes shape with these apprentices

GKN Aerospace Norway has always been a pioneer in the aerospace industry, and their continuous success largely depends on the competence and dedication of their employees. Every year, they welcome new apprentices into their ranks, young talents eager to learn and develop in various fields.

Mia – Exploring the world of logistics

Mia embarked on her journey as an apprentice at GKN with a two-week internship in the spring. Her goal was to gain insight into the field of logistics, explore it further, and see how it operates in practice. Mia had prior experience with logistics, but she wanted to take it a step further by trying it in a new company and observing how they handle logistics challenges.

Today, Mia is an apprentice at GKN, committed to working in the field of logistics for 2 1/2 years. What drew her to the company was the excellent working environment. For her, the apprenticeship was not a meticulously planned career path, but rather a natural progression after she had the opportunity to explore GKN during her internship. She was warmly welcomed, and she quickly realized the breadth of opportunities within the field of logistics. Mia looks forward to exploring these opportunities and working in a relevant area with promising job prospects.

For Mia, the combination of a pleasant working environment and exciting tasks is what drives her forward in her apprenticeship at GKN.

Felix – From internship to CNC apprentice at GKN

Felix began his journey at GKN with a two-week internship this winter, where he worked with various CNC machines. The year before, he had completed two internships at KDA (Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace).

This year, Felix decided to apply for an apprenticeship as a CNC operator at GKN after being well received during his internship. The pleasant environment and close-knit community at GKN made the choice easy for Felix. He has many friends who already work at GKN, including Mia, Line, and two of his buddies.

Felix will now be an apprentice at GKN for 2 years, and he looks forward to learning everything he can about CNC machining. He has already noticed that he enjoys his workplace and looks forward to developing his skills to become a valuable asset to the GKN team.

Emilian – From school challenges to an exciting internship

Emilian began his apprenticeship journey with some school challenges and a feeling that he didn’t quite fit in at the company where he initially started. However, he had heard a lot of good things about GKN Aerospace Norway and, as a result, decided to explore the possibilities there. He contacted Stein Sandvold, the Managing Director at K-Tech, to seek assistance in securing an internship at GKN.

During his first internship, Emilian made a significant impression. After two successful internships, he was offered an apprenticeship in CNC at GKN Aerospace Norway and began his apprenticeship by familiarizing himself with the various CNC machines used in production.

Emilian will now be an apprentice here for 2 years and looks forward to making new friends and mastering the art of working independently with the machines. He dreams of having a permanent job at GKN after his apprenticeship and already feels at home after just a few days.

Line – Structure in the administration

Line had a somewhat different start to her apprenticeship experience at GKN Aerospace Norway. She began with an internship in the service and administration department at KDA and completed an internship at TechnipFMC.

Although she initially applied for a position in TechnipFMC, she was offered an internship in service and administration at GKN. After careful consideration, she chose this opportunity. Line sees her apprenticeship as an opportunity to obtain a professional certificate. She is a structured person who enjoys keeping things in order, which is a great fit for the administrative environment.

Line admits there is much to learn and many new faces to get to know, but everyone is friendly and welcoming. The working environment appears to be top-notch, and she looks forward to exploring career opportunities in administration at GKN Aerospace Norway.
