As the industrial sector increasingly demands technical talent with strong practical capabilities, connecting education with industry has become a key factor.
At ETEK, students were introduced to an overview of the company, along with automation and robotics solutions currently applied in manufacturing. Through real-world examples, ETEK shared insights into workforce demand, job positions, recruitment requirements, as well as the skills and knowledge students need to prepare in order to be ready for the industrial working environment.
One of the key highlights of the program was a visit to the ETEK Technical and Technology Center. Here, students directly explored the Smart Factory model (FATS), automation demo stations, and the production and assembly workshop, gaining a clearer understanding of how technology is implemented in real manufacturing settings.
In addition to the site visit, the Q&A session gave students the opportunity to engage directly with ETEK’s engineers, asking questions about day-to-day engineering work, career pathways, and technical requirements in the fields of automation and robotics. This exchange helped students better understand the gap between theory and practice, as well as how to prepare to bridge that gap.
Through these engagement and company visit activities, ETEK aims to work closely with educational institutions to help guide students’ academic and career development, while gradually building a technical workforce that meets the evolving needs of the automation and robotics industry in the next stage of development.
