Schools cluster event

13 June 2024

It was a real privilege to have the opportunity of hosting 90 students from Washington Academy and showcasing the career pathways to securing a career at Faltec Europe Ltd. We focused on the skills, qualifications, abilities and personal values we like to see in job applicants. We also spoke about our leading Apprenticeship programmes, and how to apply for a job.

Our guests left with lots of new information about the manufacturing sector plus the range of opportunities including I.T., Finance, Human Resources, Quality Control, Health & Safety, Purchasing, Design, Supervisor, Management, and lots more.

Sustainability and our Carbon Footprint were also hot topics and the students seemed impressed at what we are doing to conserve resources, acting responsibly in protecting the environment and recycling.

The practical activities we had arranged were a BIG hit and involved STEM – science, technology, engineering and mathematics – including weighing and calculating quantities of injection moulding pellets required to manufacture a product, visiting our QC Lab to scan product (and their hands!) with the latest technology to verify dimensions, doing an assembly task and matching job titles to skills.

All good fun and good learning as well.
