Excursions serve as an invaluable gateway for our learners to immerse themselves in the intricacies of the tooling and manufacturing industry. These journeys offer live demonstrations of cutting-edge technologies, processes, and advanced methodologies, all meticulously illustrated and discussed.
Interactive Learning with Industry Experts
Learners actively participate in Q&A sessions with seasoned industry specialists, enabling an exchange of knowledge and insights.
With each excursion, learners visit various manufacturing facilities and engineering companies, broadening their perspectives and understanding of the ever-evolving industrial landscape. These visits expose them to different operational workflows, production technologies, and tooling innovations, offering a well-rounded view of how different organisations function.
Opening Doors to Employment Opportunities
Our esteemed PtSA Members seize the opportunity to showcase their expertise, capturing the admiration of the learners. This often inspires learners to request placements for their on-the-job training within these companies—creating a mutually beneficial relationship that nurtures both the learners and the organisations.
Excursions also pave the way for prospective employment opportunities for participating companies, fostering connections between talented learners and visionary employers.
A Spotlight on Success: Directech Excursion
Our recent excursion to Directech was another resounding success, truly embodying their ethos: Impossible is merely an opinion.
Learners were given an exclusive tour, introducing them to various departments and the intricate processes and designs crafted by the engineering teams. They had the privilege of witnessing several projects in progress and exploring the Toolroom.
Guided by seasoned industry experts, learners gained comprehensive insights into how projects are executed and the critical nuances to consider throughout the process.
The excursion delved into key areas such as Fabrication, Toolmaking, and Robotics, providing a broad overview of each discipline. The day concluded with a delightful midday meal—a perfect end to an enriching experience!
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Directech for hosting this inspiring excursion. Your generosity in sharing knowledge and guiding the future toolmakers of PtSA is deeply appreciated.
