maxon is teaming up with Harmonic Drive UK to deliver a Drive Technology Insight Day for engineers at the Williams F1 Conference Centre.
International Women's Day 2022 focused on the theme '#BreakTheBias'. For the engineering industry in particular, it served as both a celebration of the inspiring women within the field, and a call to action for greater equality. Here is a round-up of the inspiring stories, thought leadership and eye-opening insights from this year's IWD.
Based in Rugby, Hannah Linden is a first-year Make UK apprentice currently working at Jaguar Land Rover in Castle Bromwich. After taking an A-level in Art and Design at college, Hannah decided to make the switch to manufacturing, and applied for an apprenticeship in January 2021.
To celebrate IWD on 8 March, Make UK hosted an afternoon tea for over 100 women. Local female leaders and current apprentices shared experiences, networked and celebrated their successes in the manufacturing industry, which remains a male-dominated sector.
This year’s International Women’s Day (IWD) follows the theme of “break the bias” – celebrating those who dare to challenge, and the women who could solve some of the greatest issues impacting our world. As a business invested in its people, Sandvik Coromant highlights the experience of its President, Helen Blomqvist.
