Factor participates in an employability workshop for the Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering at UPV
The session gave students insight into the professional reality of the industrial sector.
Factor recently participated in an employability workshop for students in the Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), organized by the university’s Integrated Employment Service. The session was led by Ana Mª Sánchez Escribano, Director of People, and focused on guiding students regarding their professional future in the fields of engineering and the industrial sector.
During the session, topics such as career opportunities in the industrial sector, the profiles most in demand by companies, the skills required to enter the job market, and potential career paths within an industrial company were discussed, both through internships and employment opportunities.
The goal of these initiatives is to bring the professional world closer to the academic environment and to help students understand how companies operate, how work teams are organized, and what skills are necessary to build a career in industry.
In this regard, Ana Mª Sánchez, Director of People, noted that “it is important for students to understand how companies operate from the inside, what types of candidates the industry needs today, and what skills are important beyond technical training. Attitude, willingness to learn, teamwork, and the ability to adapt to an industrial environment are key aspects of professional development”.
For Factor, collaboration with universities and training centers is an important part of its activity, as it allows the company to bring the reality of industry closer to students and raise awareness of career opportunities in the industrial sector.
“We believe that the connection between universities and companies is essential for preparing future professionals and for the development of the industrial sector, which is why we will continue to collaborate in these types of initiatives aimed at students and young engineers”, concluded Ana Mª Sánchez.
Initiatives like this strengthen collaboration between universities and companies and help bring the academic world closer to the reality of the industrial sector.
