📢 Engineering Across the Border – 2.0!
MEGA are absolutely delighted to kick off the second year of Engineering Across the Border, significantly expanding this vital cross-border initiative for skills development and career exposure in the manufacturing & engineering sector!
Funded by InterTradeIreland, MEGA is once again partnering with Savvy Teens to connect classrooms directly with industry, illuminating the diverse and high-impact career potential within engineering and manufacturing.
📈 Scale Up, Skill Up!
This year, we are doubling the programme's reach across the island:
- 12 Schools (6 North, 6 South): Bringing Design Thinking challenges to 230 students.
- 12 Companies (6 North, 6 South): Providing real-world "wicked problems," mentorship and invaluable on-site experience.
Participating students come from communities across the island.
🌟 Committed Industry Partners
We are delighted to work alongside companies dedicated to future talent, including Kiverco, SFM Engineering, FSL Electronics, Mannok, RSK Group, Combilift and others. Their support is essential to building strong, interconnected cross-border trade relationships.
We celebrated the launch at participating school, St Patrick's Grammar School Armagh, and are grateful to Carla Scullion and the rest of the school staff for the warm welcome.
At MEGA, we believe that collaboration is key to advancement. We're proud to facilitate this impactful work with the dedicated teams at Savvy Teens and all our educational and industry partners.
The future of all-island manufacturing and engineering starts here!
