This week we welcomed Lisa, who completed the practical part of the dual orientation internship #dop4u at PIERON.
She took part in #dop4u together with 15 other school students. The programme is organised jointly by the Unternehmerverband (employers’ association), the Verband Münsterländischer Metallindustrieller (VMM), the Wirtschaftsförderungsgesellschaft für den Kreis Borken mbH (WFG) and the Westfälische Hochschule in Bocholt.
The aim is to give young people an insight into the variety of technical careers, get them excited about STEM subjects and introduce them to interesting companies in the region.
Having already spent a week at the Westfälische Hochschule in Bocholt getting to know the various technical degree programmes, Lisa gained an insight into the diverse world of work at PIERON. As her focus is on industrial engineering, Lisa got to know departments such as project planning, plant management, design, business and market development and IT, and gained an overview of their fields of activity.
In our design department, Lisa used a CAD drawing program to see how product ideas are developed and implemented. She created her own drawing of a 3D flower pot and was able to look at models of several prototypes on the 3D printer. She also gained insights into the various measuring methods and testing techniques at PIERON.
