SAFPA will be organising an exhibition at a career open day organised by the Academic Institute of Excellence (AIE) in Midrand. Originally planned for the 12 of May, it has now been postponed due to Covid.
Realising that training institutions and students are generally not aware of how large the fluid power industry is, and the wide range of industries that its spans, SAFPA’s goal is to make current and potential students aware not only of the industry, but also of individual companies that are looking for learners with both academic and practical backgrounds.
According to Gerhard Scholtz, head of the School of Engineering at AIE, the purpose of the open day is to show students what industry can offer and bridge the gap between the academic world on one side and industry on the other. AIE’s aim is to get as many industry partners as possible to talk to the students and tell them about opportunities, such as apprenticeships, that are available.
