Nine Twenty Engineering & Manufacturing are proudly sponsoring the “Cheers to Careers” event which is hosted by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Young Members Panel.
This is an event to bring industry together with Students who are looking ahead at opportunities in engineering. Nine Twenty have always been passionate about ensuring industry is proactive in developing talent pipelines, and we work closely with our up and coming workforce to showcase how amazing the manufacturing and engineering sectors can be as a career choice.
We caught up with Natasha Pell who is Vice Chair for the Young members panel and asked her some questions about the event.
Tell us more about your role on the Young Members Panel?
As Vice Chair my role it to support our Chair, Catie Gray, in organising career oriented and social events for the young professional and student community in the Glasgow and West of Scotland Area. Personally, I have a particular interest facilitating valuable networking opportunities between students and young professionals, enabling to immerse themselves in the exciting landscape of Scottish Engineering. Together we strive to create an engaging platform that fosters growth, learning and connections for the next generation of engineering in our area.
Cheers to Careers is an event you are hosting in October 2023, can you share what the event will be like?
