Honeywell expands Engineering Training and Development Programmes

Honeywell has announced that it will expand its in-house engineering training and development programmes to help deliver qualified talent for its industrial automation business. With a maturing workforce and a global reduction in student uptake of new Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) courses each year, Honeywell is creating programmes to develop the engineering talent of the future, including plant operators, maintenance technicians, implementation engineers, system administrators and management. This year, the company expects more than 1,000 to graduate from its various programmes.

"The shortage of engineering skills is an industry-wide challenge," said Norm Gilsdorf, President, Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS). "Experienced engineers are retiring, leaving behind a void that is not being sufficiently filled by newly qualified talent. With a globally expanding business like HPS, the problem is magnified. Honeywell needs more engineers. For us to find them, we have had to develop a number of programmes, which are not only designed to deliver immediate results, but to also foster interest and desire in STEM careers for future generations."

Operating in the primary and secondary industrial markets, Honeywell will increase its new engineer development activities to meet the current and future industry demand. The company has developed a progressive curriculum ranging from encouraging study in STEM to

on-the-job training programmes. Among its offerings is the Junior Engineer Training Programme (JetPro), a one-year graduate development programme that provides both technical and non-technical job skills to newly graduated engineers through classroom instruction, on-the-job training and mentoring.

Established in 2009, the programme graduates 40 young engineers from more than 12 countries each year. In addition, the 23 HPS Automation Colleges worldwide offer courses designed to improve students' knowledge of Honeywell systems, and help them increase their productivity, reduce errors and minimize downtime at their sites.
