TRAINING & RECRUITMENT Pro-Reliability Solutions Pro-Reliability Solutions help and support manufacturing companies who are looking to improve the way they perform and deliver maintenance from an engineering and operations perspective. We have selected some best in class elements that can support an organisations journey of Reliability. We have named these elements ‘Reliability Focus™’. We deliver value to our clients by providing training, mentoring and facilitation services within the Reliability Focus™ elements. Easy access to training materials and simulation helps engineers be more effective in their daily activities Good engineers understand the challenges and work environment of their customers- the plant operator.  Traditionally used by plant operators, forward thinking companies are using simulation to train their engineer staffs to be better engineers that have an operational perspective. Please feel free to give us a call and we would be happy to discuss any questions you may have regards any of the elements of Reliability Focus™ Simulation training is typically time and resource constrained, but EnVision On- Demand provides anytime, anywhere access to content used by the world’s largest oil and gas companies. See www.Pro-reliabilitysolutions.com or contact [email protected] for more information Our simulations provide plant engineers with a foundational understanding of upstream and refining processes so that their design decisions drive true operations value. www.gses.com/envision The MTC – training the next generation of engineering technicians The Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre (AMTC), on the Manufacturing Technology Centre campus at Ansty Park in Coventry, is trebling the number of apprentices it trains. The industry-leading centre, sponsored by Lloyds Bank, is to provide training for 300 high quality apprentices a year by 2020. AMTC apprentices are trained though a mix of traditional skills complimented with modules of advanced manufacturing and are exactly what manufacturing industry is looking for to fill the high-tech jobs of the future. AMTC apprenticeships have the advantage of not being company or sector-specific, so the result is a fully-rounded apprentice capable of filling the most demanding of manufacturing and engineering positions. The apprentices are fully tutored in work behaviours and engineering basics, but are also exposed to the latest manufacturing technology. Training & Recruitment the-amtc.co.uk Safety in Numbers ON-CAMPUS AND ONLINE PROGRAMMES; WORKING IN SYNERGY It’s the start of the year and already there is a great example of shared experiences. During January we host an additive manufacturing residential primarily for online students. During the residential experienced engineers studying on the programme presented the real-world challenges they are facing within their oil and gas business. This was an opportunity for discussion for undergraduate graduates who are also able to share their ideas and ambitions within the sector. core computing programme in Excel This is a is fabulously versatile tool, but it is not easy to make it just one example our manufacturing programme. clear to users how your offering spreadsheet Changing reaches a its results. among many of how business process flexible of the on-campus has a knock-on effect in of Do you know suite how results and you use typically have been derived?
