The School of Industrialists awards the company Murcia of power generation systems for forming and incorporate a score of engineers from the Polytechnic
Himoinsa has received the 'Mateo Vodopich' award given each year by the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena (UPCT) to those companies that collaborate in the training of university students of the Higher Technical School of Industrial Engineers (ETSII).
Himoinsa's executive director, Jun Takashima, along with the company's director of engineering, Manuel Sánchez Bada, and the director of Human Resources, Marta Garrido, received the award from José Hernández Grau, deputy director of Institutional Relations and Employment of The Industrial School, as part of the graduation ceremony for students who finished their studies in 2016.
At the end of 2015, Himoinsa and the UPCT signed an agreement to initiate a training and employment program.
The company selects students from the last courses of industrial qualifications to graduate them progressively through a first year of internships, an intensive English course and a work contract, in most cases, for a minimum duration of five years.
"HIMOINSA is a very important company, with a great international expansion with products and services of high technological level and to which we must thank its commitment to the training and incorporation of our graduates", emphasizes Patricio Franco, director of the School Of Industrial.
The results of the first year of the agreement have been so positive that Yanmar, the Japanese business group to which Himoinsa belongs, has shown interest in extending this agreement to its engineering centers and incorporating two more students per year.
"They would be formed for two years in Himoinsa and then they would move to Yanmar's production plants in Japan and finally reincorporate into some of the headquarters that Yanmar has in Europe," adds Manuel Sánchez Bada, HIMOINSA's director of engineering.
Members of the corporation of Yanmar and Himoinsa have held a meeting with the leaders of the School of Industrialists and with the Vice-rector of Innovation and Enterprise of the UPCT, Alejandro Pérez, in order to discuss the feasibility of this new project.
"We are interested in extending to Yanmar this model of training and employability that Himoinsa has already started.
Our goal would be to incorporate up to 10 university students into Yanmar's engineering centers in the coming years, "says Akihiro Nishimura, general manager of Yanmar's Energy Systems Division.
"These students would join the 20 that Himoinsa is going to incorporate between 2015 and 2020," concludes Jun Takashima, who insists on the responsibility of large companies to encourage and channel university entry into the world of work.
In HIMOINSA, during the first two years of contract, students of the UPCT carry out the internal training in their central headquarters of San Javier.
From the third year, they can be transferred to the factories that the company has in France, the United States, Argentina, Brazil, India and China or the subsidiaries of Portugal, the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, the Dominican Republic, Panama, Argentina, Angola, South Africa, United Arab Emirates and Singapore.
