Thule Apprenticeship Program

Vectrus Services (VS) efforts in Greenland include working with the Greenlandic Education Authority to support a few different initiatives with the Northern Greenland population including school visits, base visitations by school attendees, and the Apprenticeship Program. The Apprenticeship Program allows VS to support the continuing education of Greenlandic students wishing to learn specific trades, skill sets, and life skills in a secure living environment.

Annually, VS participates in Education Fairs held throughout Greenland with Margrethe Poulsen, VS Apprentice Supervisor, who travels to several locations to promote our Apprenticeship Program at Thule. In 2019, Margrethe’s travels included stops in Illulissat, Aasiaat, Sisimuit and concluded in Nuuk. Margrethe was able to meet with students and family members presenting our program at Thule to include specifics about job opportunities, working and living conditions, and recreational and outdoor opportunities in the Arctic region.

Vectrus Services currently has 9 apprentices on staff at Thule working in the areas of Site Support (Clerks), Dining Facilities (Chefs and Catering), Vehicle Maintenance (Auto or Heavy Equipment Mechanics) and Logistics (Warehouseman). Vectrus Services is currently recruiting for the program in 2020 since we have successfully graduated several students over the past two years and therefore are seeking to increase our student population and continued support of the program. This year, we are looking to bring on an additional 5 apprentices with the goal of sustaining 15 apprentices on our Thule Program with a focus on students from the Northern Greenland Arctic Region.

Vectrus Services A/S trained the apprentices listed below during their employment with the company and subsequently graduated them from the program. Apprentices have the option to remain employed at Vectrus after graduation if there’s a position that aligns with their skill set.
