Educational experiences can have a powerful impact on our chosen career paths and that is precisely why the subsea installation and maintenance specialist, Global Marine Systems Limited, with joint venture partner Huawei Marine Networks (HMN), has consistently supported the Engineering Education Scheme, organised by the Engineering Development Trust.
Adrian Jarvis of HMN mentored and worked with a team of four young women from the Brentwood Ursuline Convent High School; Charlotte Buttery, Abbie Cook, Jahnina Queddeng and Alicia Trew. It is a collaboration that has resulted in these talented students being declared the winners among eight competing teams across the East of England at the Celebration and Assessment Day held at PROCAT on 29th April this year.
The team’s hard work has subsequently been rewarded with an invitation to the South East Regional Final of the EES Contribution to Business Awards in London on 30th June 2016 and potentially the chance to compete in the National Final in September. And, most importantly, this experience has fuelled the students’ enthusiasm to pursue a career in engineering.
