Magnus’ apprenticeship diary: A month in the Philippines with the GLOBUS project
Meet Magnus
Magnus is currently completing his 3-year apprenticeship at HARDI in the welding department. As part of his education, Magnus recently spent a month in Manila, working with EXO, a Philippines-based company that specialises in armoured vehicle production.
The trip was made possible through the GLOBUS project – an international exchange initiative aimed at giving apprentices hands-on experience in a different culture while exploring global perspectives on sustainability and craftsmanship.
The GLOBUS Project
The purpose of the GLOBUS experience is to help apprentices become more aware of their skills, reflect on their professional identity, and develop the confidence to apply their knowledge in new and unfamiliar settings.
It has been a privilege for us at HARDI to work alongside GLOBUS and CELF, giving our apprentices a chance to learn and grow through unique experiences.
Magnus highlights his experience in the Philippines
Magnus shares that working in a different country brought a fresh perspective on innovation, work culture, sustainability, and collaboration.
“It was great to see how they work in the Philippines and to exchange knowledge. I’ve learned a lot and I’m thankful to CELF and HARDI for the opportunity.” Says Magnus
Magnus points out that stepping outside of the regular comfort zone also made him realise how much he’s grown since starting his apprenticeship.
Looking ahead: The apprenticeship journey is near the finish line
After three years of hard work and learning, Magnus is set to complete his apprenticeship at HARDI this May. He shares that it has been a great three years at HARDI, filled with hands-on experience.
As he prepares for the next step in his career, we couldn’t be prouder of what he’s accomplished so far. We wish him all the best as he finishes his education and look forward to seeing all the great things he will achieve in the future.
