Apprenticeship at VINAB – a way into the industry

Being an apprentice is an important step in moving from education to working life.

Being an apprentice is an important step in moving from education to working life.

At VINAB, we work closely with our apprentices to give them the practical experience and guidance needed to progress in the industry.

Julius Pettersson is an example of how apprenticeships can be a valuable foundation for a long-term career.

From apprentice to pipe welder – Julius’ journey

Julius started his apprenticeship at VINAB in connection with his education in the Industrial Technology program with a focus on welding technology at Strömbackaskolan in Piteå. For two years he worked at our pipe department in Kalix, where he gained both hours and experience. After completing his final test, he became a certified industrial pipe fitter and today still works as a pipe welder with us.

“I think VINAB is a good place to be an apprentice.”
says Julius, who still works with us and commutes weekly from Piteå to the workplace in Kalix.

Apprentices – an investment in the future

At VINAB, we see apprentices as an important part of the industry’s development.

– “Taking on apprentices is incredibly important. They are the next generation in the industry and our chance to ensure that professional skills live on. We want to give them a start that is both educational and inspiring.”
says Ida Christoffersson at VINAB.

At a time when demand for skilled welders is high, our ambition is to be a place where young talents can grow and develop together with experienced colleagues.
