INEOS and their engineers are supporting the award-winning Primary Engineer\u00ae and Secondary Engineer\u00ae programmes in Falkirk.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The programme is designed to promote engineering skills and careers to pupils, their parents and teachers and will be delivered in 10 Falkirk schools.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Thursday 13th<\/sup> September, Primary and Secondary school teachers teamed up with engineers from INEOS O&P UK at Grangemouth to take part in Primary Engineer training day ahead of delivering in the classrooms.<\/p>\n

Dr Susan Scurlock, CEO and Founder of Primary Engineer\u00ae, expressed her delight in the partnership. \u201cWe are thrilled that INEOS will be investing in our programmes and that their engineers will be supporting the teachers\u2019 delivery of the project.  Falkirk is surrounded by engineering \u2013 whether it\u2019s INEOS\u2019 plant at Grangemouth, the Falkirk Wheel or the Kelpies. Our work together will ensure young people in the area understand the skills and routes into the many fields of engineering to benefit the Forth Valley region for years to come.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

INEOS O&P UK owns and operates petrochemical plants in Grangemouth, producing key products used in a wide range of everyday items that enhance and improve our ways of life. Employing more than 900 highly skilled people it is vital for the long-term future of the industry and for manufacturing that there is a pool of talent, interested in science, technology and engineering. Each year the business recruits Graduates and Modern Apprentices into its engineering training programmes.<\/p>\n

John McNally, CEO O&P UK said, \u201cEngineering is at the heart of our industry. It is therefore important that we work in partnership with teachers to enthuse young people to take up Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics subjects at school. The Primary Engineer\u00ae Programme is a great way to utilise the expertise and harness the enthusiasm of our employees to inspire the next generation of engineers, technologists and scientists.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Forth Valley College hosted the teacher training event and the pupil celebration will take place in April, providing opportunities for teachers and pupils to understand more about studying engineering. The project is also supported by DYW Forth Valley and Falkirk Council.<\/p>\n

Kenny MacInnes, Head of Engineering at Forth Valley College, explains why the College has chosen to get involved:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an excellent opportunity to support engagement between teachers and industry and help them to enhance STEM learning for children and young people. This type of engagement sits at the heart of the Scottish Government\u2019s STEM strategy and Forth Valley College is delighted to be able to host this event.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
