News: Engineering students learn at cutting edge with B. Braun
A team of students from Brinsworth Academy of Engineering in Rotherham learned at the cutting edge with a tour of B. Braun Medical Ltd in Sheffield.
As part of a Prince's Trust initiative, the students and academy lead tutor Peter Wooding visited its purpose-built showcase facility which repairs, services and maintains the precision surgical instruments and medical equipment the company provides to hospitals throughout the UK.
The Prince's Trust runs "Get into" courses for young unemployed adults which includes a visit to an employer in their area of interest. Participants from Brinsworth Academy who visited B. Braun Medical Ltd as part of their "Get into Engineering" programme were given a short presentation introducing the company as well as a tour demonstrating B. Braun products and the engineering skills required to repair and maintain them.
Andrew Pritchard, technical services operations manager at B. Braun, said: "Our technical services building enables us to provide excellence in technical innovation, education and support solutions for the healthcare organisations that we work with, in particular the NHS.
"Brinsworth Academy asked B. Braun Medical Ltd to provide the employer experience on the grounds that our company is cutting edge, both in terms of the facility and the engineering we undertake.
"We were very pleased to be able to show the students around and hope it inspires them to further explore the world of – and career opportunities involved in - engineering."
Paul Reeves, business development director at Brinsworth Academy of Engineering, added: "We were delighted to see the involvement of an organisation the size and scope of B. Braun Medical Ltd in this programme.
"It was a great opportunity to demonstrate how employers can get directly involved with our training facility and it also provided a fascinating and educational experience for the learners to find out about the intricate and technical side of modern engineering."
Paul has recently been shortlisted for Sales Director of the Year Award by The Institute of Sales & Marketing Management (ISMM), an individual award for directors responsible for creating and delivering sales strategy.
Paul said: "To be shortlisted for this National award is a great accolade, to be in an awards ceremony that includes sales staff from major brands such as Sky, Virgin, and DHL speaks volumes for what we have achieved here at the Academy."
