Lærlinger er en viktig ressurs for Elkem. Unge mennesker har mye å bidra med og kan utfordre etablerte tankesett, samtidig som vi har mye erfaring og kunnskap vi ønsker å dele med talentene. Målet er å gi lærlingene våre den beste og bredeste kompetansen innenfor relevante fagfelt. Enten de fortsetter som medarbeidere i Elkem, går til andre selskaper eller vender tilbake til skolebenken, er vår ambisjon å gi dem et bredt grunnlag som de kan bygge videre på. Elever på yrkesskolenElkem har et nært samarbeid med yrkesskolene og ønsker å gi elevene et innblikk i hvordan ulike studievalg vil kunne praktiseres innenfor vår industri. Skoleklasser inviteres til forelesninger og omvisning ved ett av våre smelteverk. Vi deltar i skoleprosjekter hvor elever jobber sammen med våre medarbeidere på arenaer som gir dem anledning til å lære mer om norsk industri. Elevene har også praksisperioder på 2-4 uker hos oss. I løpet av denne tiden er det viktig både for eleven og for oss å se om han/hun kan være egnet for en lærlingplass hos oss. Elkem besøker også skoleklasser som ikke har mulighet til å komme til oss.
