Saftronics joined a range of professionals from the Leeds Manufacturing Alliance to visit the UTC Leeds on Friday 3rd May to talk to Year 10 students about the advantages of gaining work experience and possible opportunities within their own organisations.
The Year 10 UTC Leeds students impressed Saftronics with their passion for engineering and manufacturing.
Paul Stead, Head of Sales and Marketing at Saftronics, said: “It’s always been a passion of ours to grow young people through the business. We found this an ideal opportunity to get our name known amongst these young, talented and enthusiastic students who may be interested in a career in electrical engineering.”
Jonathan, Technical Director at Saftronic, started his career as an apprentice and shared his experience with the students, said: “I wanted to give the students an insight into how I started and how I’ve progressed throughout my career.”
He continued: “I really enjoy working with our apprentices, I love to see their enthusiasm and how they build on their knowledge. I think it is wonderful that UTC Leeds is targeted towards engineering.”
