Scania Group’s Post

First Member Spotlight of 2024: This time we want to feature a female #apprentice that we met during one of our plant tours last year at Haering Precision. L Michelle Poole thank you for sharing your story with us and being an inspiration for so many #womeninmanufacturing, and those ladies who consider the #manufacturingindustry as a career option. Why did you become involved with WiM?: There are great careers in manufacturing in which women may use their talents and skills to thrive in. Manufacturing has competitive wages, great benefits, and exciting training opportunities. I can use my career pathway to show others the opportunities that they may not have ever considered before. What is the most important skill you have developed in your career?: I have always been a student of good communication, both verbal and non-verbal, even sign language. To continuously improve, I am currently learning the German language. The company I work for is headquartered in southern Germany. We also have sister plants in China and Poland, so good communication can be a challenge. I welcome this challenge by learning as much as I can about my colleagues’ culture and language. What advice would you give someone currently working in the manufacturing industry that is looking to advance their career?: Ask for help and guidance, seek out apprenticeship career opportunities, and above all cultivate an attitude that is friendly, polite, trainable, and respectful. What is the best piece of advice you have ever received? What advice would you give to someone looking to enter the Manufacturing industry?: Never stop learning. Humans have a tremendous capacity to learn new skills, and increase their knowledge. What’s something about you (a fun fact) that not many people know?: I enjoy drinking lemonade with my cola.

🤝Collaboration with international students🤝   We're excited to embark on this journey of partnership with students and educational institutions. Intercable Automotive Solutions collaborated with three students from Berufskolleg Tecklenburger Land (Germany). David, Joshua and Simon worked on a project together with the Advanced Quality Engineering (AQE) department - within the Laboratory they designed and created a Slow-Motion-Bending Machine for lifetime testing of cables lug connections. Over the next few weeks we would like to give an insight on this project and get to the bottom of the following questions:   * Why did you decide to work together with Intercable Automotive Solutions? * How did you grow professionally as well as personally during your 10 weeks stay? * What did you enjoy the most when working together with Intercable Automotive Solutions?   So stay tuned - you'll get all the answers soon 🚗💡   #IntercableAutomotiveSolutions #project #students #collaboration #mechanicalengineering #internship #emobility #automotive #cooperation #global #staytuned Aptiv Automotive Excellence Südtirol #BerufskollegTecklenburgerland

Trainees at Schmersal: responsibility in practice 💡   Project work is indispensable in the modern working world. At Schmersal, this is not only recognised, but actively integrated into training. Under the motto #SchmersalTinkers, trainees and students can develop project management skills not only in theory, but also in practice. 👩🔧👨💻   The focus of the first project was the development of a mobile phone case for Schmersal's company mobile phones. Four trainees and students from different disciplines made up the team, which took on #responsibility not only in theory but also in practice. 📱   From conception to presentation at the SPS trade fair in Nuremberg, the team went through a structured project process. The positive response encouraged the team to continue the #project and develop another mobile phone case under the slogan `committed to a sustainable present for a better futuer`. 📅   Schmersal shows that responsibility and self-organisation are not just buzzwords, but are actively practised in #training. Apply now and become part of the #SchmersalFamily - here, talent is not only encouraged, but also challenged! 🌟 https://lnkd.in/daKUZc5p #Projectmanagement #Sustainability #Schmersal

“A single interaction can change the trajectory of your life.” Tonight I had the immense pleasure of speaking to this year’s group of Heidelberg University students that came down to do a week of service at Back Bay Mission in Biloxi, Mississippi. It’s hard to believe that 11 years ago, I was in their shoes, on my first service trip to a hole in the wall nonprofit on the Gulf Coast. I never would have imagined back then just what my life would look like now, but Lord knows I have had the most incredible journey getting here. A few too take aways from tonight: - Just go for it. Whatever chance that presents itself and interests you, take it. A uniqie class, an intership opportunity, a job opening, a cross country move - just go for it. - It is never too late. You can choose something new at any moment, and takif a new direction doesn't mean the path left behind was a waste of a walk. - Boundaries hedge against burnout. Speaking your boundaries outloud allows you to clearly communicate your capacity for care, and anything beyond that is no longer your responsibility. I nerd out every year, and probably talk way too much, and ramble on. But my life has been immeasurably blessed by experiences I had in college. It is my hope that each student who shares this experience leaves with their minds amd hearts wide open and ready to take on the world. #aservantsheart #openmindsandhearts #justgoforit #setyourboundaries #knowyourcapacity #itsnevertoolate

Part 4 of our alumni series. ➡ Interview with Shauk Khan: ❓ What does your current role invole? 🗨 I am responsible for testing, release and validation for Loudspeakers that are built in all the Volkswagen Cars worldwide. ❓Which aspects of the study program have helped you most in your career? 🗨I have done my student job, internship and Masters Thesis in the Digital Signal Processing Lab. From there I got to know about Loudspeakers and then just kept going. ❓What advice would you give to future students on the course? 🗨Learn German. It is more important than you realise. There are a lot of free courses in the university, utilize them and the time that you have. Later you don't have time and need to pay money to learn German. #careerpath #university #studyingermany

The BME Formula Racing Team is launching a new post series, which aims to demonstrate how participation in the team can help in professional development and employment. The team offers an exceptional opportunity to deepen knowledge and practice in the design and construction of racing cars in a real engineering environment that university students cannot necessarily experience in education. They also face not only engineering, but also economic and managerial challenges, which also improve the communication, problem-solving and autonomy of team members. This way, even their first job placement will be much smoother, as they see the situations through an engineering and economic perspective, and companies will have a much simpler job with them while having the opportunity to support the employees of the future. In the post series, the team members reveal their personal stories, demonstrating how they have acquired skills in engineering production, design, problem solving, networking and racing, as well as how their careers have progressed. The knowledge and skills gained here can not only strengthen future career opportunities, but also help build relationships in professional circles. In addition, the community and the experiences it provides lead to personal development.

🎓 Quality Engineering: Bridging Theory and Corporate Innovation at Politecnico di Torino 🚀 Thursday 18 January 2024 marked an exciting moment in the course of Quality Engineering within the Master's degree in Engineering & Management at Politecnico di Torino. On the occasion of the last lesson before the final exams, my colleague Prof. Luca Mastrogiacomo and I had the honour of hosting a distinguished team from FPT Industrial, part of the IVECO Group. In this meeting, all four members of the FPT Industrial staff – Massimiliano Gargiulo, Vincenzo Scoleri, and our former students Giulia Ricci and Aamir Hasany – passionately shared their innovative project. It was a vivid demonstration of how the specific skills acquired in academia are applied and valued in the business world. The active participation of Giulia and Aamir, now members of the FPT Industrial team after a productive internship, underscores the practical value and impact of the training we offer. This meeting represented a perfect synergy between theory and practice, and between academia and the industrial sector. Closing the semester with such an event not only enriched our students' learning but also provided tangible inspiration for their professional future. A special thanks goes to all participants and a big “good luck” to our students in the Engineering Management degree program, who are now preparing to face their final exams, armed with knowledge, commitment, and inspiration. 📸 Below is an image capturing the enthusiasm of the event. #PolitecnicoDiTorino #QualityEngineering #FPTIndustrial #EngineeringManagement #AcademiaAndInnovation #ProfessionalFuture
