What our employees say

Opportunities for both young and adult apprentices

There are many paths into a profession.

Some people begin as young apprentices, while others choose a new direction later in their careers and join as adult apprentices.

Both are highly valued at VARO. We see it as a strength when people bring different experiences, backgrounds, and motivations to the workplace.

Our goal is to provide a supportive learning environment where you can develop professionally, take on responsibility, and build a strong foundation for your future career. And whenever possible, we are pleased to offer permanent positions to our skilled apprentices after they complete their training.

Interview with Henrik

Before starting my adult apprenticeship as an Automation Technician, I worked as a machinist. Due to a hand injury, however, I decided it was time to try something different. I initially enrolled at the Marine and Technical Engineering Academy, but quickly realized that it was not the right path for me.

I joined VARO in 2017, first as an apprentice and later as a full-time employee. I have always been interested in electrical systems and automation, which is why I chose to become an Automation Technician—and I have never regretted that decision.

In my day-to-day work, I am involved in electrical installation on a variety of projects. My tasks include reading electrical diagrams, routing cables, and installing sensors. Some projects take a week to complete, while others last several months, depending on their size and complexity. I enjoy the variety of the work and the responsibility I am trusted with.

One of the aspects I find most exciting is installation work abroad. I do not want to be a full-time travelling technician, but I enjoy getting out and experiencing something new from time to time—it provides a welcome change from everyday routines.

As an adult apprentice, I found it beneficial to have a bit more life and work experience. You tend to be more independent and learn quickly to ask questions and take responsibility. I have also benefited greatly from my colleagues, who are always willing to help and share their knowledge.

I am happy to be part of VARO. The company has a positive and healthy culture with plenty of opportunities for personal and professional development. We enjoy working together, and the strong sense of camaraderie is what makes everyday work enjoyable.
