5th-9th November is ‘Tomorrow’s Engineers Week’ 2018!
02 November 2018
Next week is the annual Tomorrow’s Engineers Week, now in it’s sixth year. Using a huge social media push, under the hashtag #TEWeek18, the organisers aim to change perceptions of engineering among young people and educational institutions.
The project also hopes to inspire the next generation of engineers by really shouting about and raising awareness of the difference they can make to UK industries and to our workplaces.This is a very important topic to Yorkshire Packaging, who have seen first-hand the amazing contributions that come from getting young people involved in their engineering department.
In recent years, YPS have nurtured the next generation of engineers in packaging through the introduction of an apprenticeship programme. In 2015 Jake Martin was taken on as an apprentice service engineer in order to inject some youthful thinking, ideas and knowledge, and to future-proof the company’s engineering offering to their customers. Jake has gone from strength to strength during his time at YPS, servicing customers up and down the country, project-leading some huge installations and developing new software for the machinery, culminating in his win of the PPMA Apprentice of the Year award in 2017. A CEO at a major UK snacks brand was so impressed with his talent that he told YPS ‘Jake worked with us throughout a complex, time pressured installation. His commitment, practical application of his knowledge and his understanding of our objectives was symptomatic of someone much more experienced. A star in the making.’
As well as implementing an apprenticeship programme, Yorkshire Packaging have actively pursued a policy of recruiting younger engineers in recent years. George Reed-Hill, 21 years, joined the business in 2017 and has become a key member of the engineering team. His characteristically youthful qualities, such as enthusiasm, willingness to learn and his passion for his role, has gained much praise from YPS’s customers.
YPS say let’s forget about generations X and Y and forge the next ‘Generation YPS’ with tomorrow’s engineers!
