Being an apprentice means learning a professional trade through a combination of work in a company and training at school or other educational institutions. The apprentice will work under the guidance of experienced professionals in the company and will have the opportunity to learn the trade by performing practical tasks and participating in projects. The apprentice will also attend theoretical courses and training to acquire the necessary knowledge to perform the job. Being an apprentice also entails responsibilities and obligations, such as showing up to work at the agreed-upon time, following the company's rules, and performing tasks in a professional manner. It is also important to be willing to learn and open to learning new things. Completing the apprenticeship and passing the exam will give the apprentice a trade certificate or certification as proof that they have achieved competence in a specific field.
In Cegal apprentices have been part of the organization for many years. We have many inspiring stories about how the apprenticeship was the entry point for exciting careers. The apprentices are recruited once a year. They apply when they are about to finish their second year in school, and we invite candidates to an interview to see if we are a good match
We are looking for attitude and motivation, the skills will come through training. Working together with the organization to provide a training environment that allows them to excel, and grow is incredibly inspiring, he continues.
Kjell Magnus Bjørk - Training and Development advisor
I chose Cegal for my apprenticeship because I have heard positive things about Cegal from my family and friends. I like the way I am included in the Servicedesk team to learn and look forward to embarking on the Customer Experience part of the training. Everyone and I mean everyone, is helpful and my learning curve is steep within Azure, Office, server setup, and communication.

Having apprentices is valuable for Cegal, because it gives us the opportunity to recruit young talents and shape them into future professionals. Apprentices bring new energy and new ideas into the company, and they can also contribute to increasing productivity. In addition, the apprenticeship program gives us the opportunity to develop our own professionals, which can be very beneficial in the long run. It is also important to mention that the apprenticeship program gives young people the opportunity to gain relevant work experience and skills, which can be crucial for getting a job in the future.
Right now, we are looking for apprentices to join us after the summer.
