 Festo support for WorldSkills 2011
March 1st 2011
Mechatronics duo Chris Downey
and Mark Maginty from Northern
Regional College in Northern Ireland
have set their sights on selection for
Team UK to go forward and compete
in the 41st WorldSkills Competition
in London later this year.
They have been selected for Squad
UK which consists of young people
aged 18 to 24, currently in training
for a place in the team that will
represent the UK at WorldSkills
2011. Festo, as founding global
partner of WorldSkills and official
sponsor of the Mechatronics and
Mobile Robotics competitions, is
supplying equipment and assisting in
organisation.
The competition reflects reality on
the shop floor – people working
under pressure to design, implement
solutions, maintain and constantly
improve production and fix
machines quickly when faults occur. More articles from Festo Limited: |
