Demonstrating Careers in Corrosion
Who: Richard Lindley - Projects Director
Where: Parkside Primary School, Stafford, UK
When: Monday 04 July 2022
It was my pleasure to represent Corroconsult UK Limited at the Careers Fayre held at Parkside Primary School.
We know that children engage best with hands-on and visual representation so we developed a number of basic experiments to show the children how coatings and cathodic protection work, series and parallel circuits and a real-time demonstration of the affects of stray current corrosion.
We discussed the potential for worldwide travel, immersing yourselves in different cultures and challenging environments - from deserts to jungles to offshore.
It is important for us as a company to inspire not only the next generation of corrosion engineers, but to stimulate interest in STEM careers in general.
Aspects of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) play a major part in everyday life for Corroconsult personnel and we hope that through our continued participation with events such as these that children can see the potential in pursuing a STEM career.
