NORMA Group kooperiert mit Saint Vincent College in den USA
Saltsburg/USA, 15. April 2016
Die NORMA Group, ein internationaler Marktführer für hochentwickelte Verbindungstechnologie, startet eine Kooperation mit dem Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Die Mitarbeiter der NORMA Group profitieren von den universitären Bildungsprogrammen. Zugleich haben die Wirtschaftsstudenten der Hochschule die Möglichkeit, Praktika im Unternehmen zu absolvieren und theoretisches Wissen mit praktischen Erfahrungen in der Arbeitswelt zu verknüpfen.
“I am convinced that this program benefits everyone involved – the college, its students, NORMA Group, and our employees,” said Tim Jones, president of the NORMA Group Americas region. “Our employees are already supporting the college and attending its courses. We offer its students the possibility to gain first job experience in return.”
Currently two NORMA Group employees are involved in the graduate Operational Excellence program at the college, and a NORMA Group executive also teaches operational management graduate courses at the school. NORMA Group already has provided two internships at its facilities for both a graduate and undergraduate student. Along with educational advantages, the program also offers students a discount on tuition, participation in on-campus networking events, free access to lectures and seminars and a free textbook. NORMA Group was the first of several manufacturing and healthcare organizations to join the college’s partnership program.
NORMA Group in Pennsylvania manufactures a comprehensive line of perforated worm-drive and T-bolt/V-Band hose clamps for the automotive, heavy duty vehicle, aerospace and other industries. The company employs 250 area residents at its plant in Saltsburg, Pa.
