Webinar event Keynote speaker: David Orr, Senior Vice President at Rolls-Royce Nuclear

With webinars seeing their highest viewing times and sharing more information than ever, there’s no better time to see what we are all about. That’s why today Northern Crucible are at the forefront of helping local industry to get the information they need.

This webinar will bring education and industry together to exchange best practices, gain the latest insights and network with industry professionals. Centred around the theme of approaches to educating engineers of the future, we ask how we can align manufacturing, teaching and training to the needs of modern industrial practice. Future engineers need to be educated with new curricula in order to cope with the increased industrial requirements of the factories of the future.

Our goal for this webinar is to initiate the discussion addressing training and education issues in engineering and production. We will bring together representatives of schools (6th form), colleges, universities as well as manufacturers and local authorities to review the new offerings and explore opportunities in adequate training provision for the modern workforce.

Here is our jam-packed agenda and speaker line-up.
Keynote speaker: David Orr, Senior Vice President at Rolls-Royce Nuclear (small modular reactors) and the visiting professor of the University of Derby (innovation and engineering). David joined Rolls-Royce as a professional engineer in 1985, having served a Marine Engineer Cadetship with Shell (UK). He undertook a postgraduate study in Nuclear Engineering at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich. He has previously held several positions in the nuclear sector and the submarines business in particular.
