Robinson Brothers host a visit for Sandwell Academy students

Robinson Brothers recently hosted a visit for the students of Sandwell Academy.

Arranged by Susan Timms, Employer Engagement Officer at Sandwell Academy, the young students were given the opportunity to view chemical manufacturing in-action. This included a tour of the laboratories and large-scale manufacturing plants.

The school visit gave these young students an understanding of how chemistry and chemical engineering is applied in real life.  The students had an opportunity to discuss careers at Robinson Brothers with employees from various disciplines, including a Research Chemist and Chemical Engineer, to learn what their job role involves on a daily basis. The purpose of the visit was to provide students with an insight into the jobs available within the chemical manufacturing industry should they wish to pursue further education in a chemistry or chemical engineering subject.

The students were also made aware of the Apprenticeship schemes available in industry. Robinson Brothers currently supports Apprenticeships in Engineering and R&D. As the company continues to grow, Robinson Brothers continues to build the workforce of tomorrow by providing industrial placement education programs. Industrial placements offer a unique insight into STEM careers. Robinson Brothers facilitates Industrial Placement Schemes for Undergraduate Chemists, through working partnerships with the University of Birmingham, University of Wolverhampton and Aston University. Alongside this, Robinson Brothers continues to support Apprenticeship Schemes to train young professionals within their Engineering and Science divisions to develop the next generation of workers.
