Time flies and my second placement as an Elkem trainee is already finished. In April, after 8 months spent in Saint-Fons plant, I packed my luggage and moved to Kristiansand in Elkem Technology for an exciting new experience.

Being a trainee in Elkem gives you a wonderful opportunity to get to work with some truly remarkable things. Like walking inside a silicon furnace. “Walking inside a silicon furnace?”, you might think, and rightfully so. Normally you would hesitate to enter a chamber that normally handles more than 37.000.000 watts of power. Unless, of course, the furnace pot is being rebuilt, and you are a curious trainee taking part in the project!
