Apprenticeships with versatility and flexibility
In Risavika, we started our apprenticeship program in 2022, and every year we welcome two new apprentices to ensure a continuous flow of new talent. In Rogaland, we collaborate with OFIR (Training Office for Industrial Trades in Rogaland).
Since 2013, SAR has invested in apprentices on Averøy, and many of them have been offered permanent positions after completing their training. Currently, we have two apprentices at our treatment plant on Averøy, with more joining this fall. Ingrid L. Borge and Oskar Strzegocki are both apprentices in Chemical Process Engineering.
When asked what our "Averøy apprentices" would highlight as positive about their apprenticeship, both responded that it's the wide variety of tasks and everything they get to be involved in. At the same time, they find it very nice to be able to work in shifts. The workday involves a lot of different things such as screen control from the control room, equipment repairs, maintenance, and sampling. They are also occasionally placed with supplier companies within electrical and mechanical fields.

In the Logistics department in Tananger, we have Business Analyst Torgeir Bøyum on our team as our trainee. Torgeir started as a trainee in August 2023, and the trainee program concludes in August 2024.
"There is a very steep learning curve in SAR, which can be quite overwhelming at the beginning. However, it also provides a great sense of accomplishment as you work through it. I've been very fortunate to have worked for SAR over the past year, a company that is so active and innovative in the recycling and waste industry. I've learned more in the past year than in any previous years. I want to extend a big thank you to all the employees at SAR who have welcomed me with open arms since I walked through the door." (Torgeir Bøyum).
SAR is also pleased to announce that we are very fortunate and greatly look forward to having recently signed a new contract with a trainee in the finance department.
SAR aims to provide young individuals with positive learning experiences and future opportunities
A positive introduction to the workplace is crucial for fostering motivation and interest among the youth. Our training programs are valuable for SAR not only in terms of future recruitment but also for growth. Whether they secure a permanent position with us or their path leads elsewhere, we hope to have established valuable relationships.
"We are very conscious that taking on apprentices is a significant responsibility, and with us, they can be assured of receiving excellent support." - HR Director Jone Nevøy.
Rouven Uzelmaier took the leap fully!
In 2020, Rouven Uzelmaier was a trainee candidate at SAR. He rotated through both our sustainability department and operations department. After completing the trainee program, Rouven has been in a permanent position with us as a Business Developer ESG & Energy Management.

Education and recruitment of skilled craftsmen for a sustainable future
As an environmental company, we see it as our duty to guide young people into a responsible working life. We are proud to contribute to the education of skilled craftsmen within environmental and sustainable waste solutions. We need their perspectives and knowledge to convert waste into value and to build a more sustainable society for the future.
