Power Academy Awareness event
25 Oct 2011 
On Wednesday 19th October 2011 the annual Power Academy Awareness event was held in the School, this is held every year to promote the Power Academy scholarship opportunity to our home and EU students. This event is also used by the companies as a recruitment opportunity.
The event was well attended by a range of students including undergraduate, postgraduate taught and research students. The Head of the School (Professor Andy Gibson) made a formal introduction of the scheme and then the students were invited to enjoy some refreshments and take the opportunity to talk to the company representatives about their company as well as any specific information about the summer placements and graduate opportunities.
This year we had seven companies attending the event:- ABB
- CE Electric
- CCFE
- National Grid
- Siemens
- Rolls-Royce
- Western Power Distribution
It was the very first year when we had each stand attended by one of our previous graduates and it was rewarding to see and hear how well they are doing in industry. We were very proud to see how our students are progressing as engineers.
