Generosa Cerviño, HR director of the Indaux Group, has participated in two seminars organised by Lizeo Oteitza and the Equality Department of the Council of Zarautz to promote the integration of women in the industrial sector. The first of these was aimed at students of between 16 and 17 at the secondary school, and the second to the population in general.
Both activities were part Indaux’s commitment to promote responsibility in its environment. The seminars intended to make young women of the region aware of a real job placement path, that passes through the study of a Higher Degree Education Course in Industrial Specialities, such as Mechanical Manufacturing Design, Industrial Mecatronics, Industrial Robotics and Mechanical Manufacture. “On this occasion, we have focused on encouraging women not to have a fear of taking technical studies, but we are aware that for our objective to be successful there has to be a general cultural change. And we will continue working towards that”, explained Generosa Cerviño.
Together with Generosa Cerviño were Ana Belén Juaristi, manager at Engranajes Juaristi; Eugenia Iraola, Human Resources Manager at GKN Driveline Zumaia and several ex-students of Oteitza Lizeo Politeknikoa, who told of their experiences first hand.
Javier García presented four products that have been revolutionary for Indaux, thanks to their design:
characteristics do companies look for in a design engineer?” Design is no longer considered to be a cost, but an investment connected to the development of innovative technology services and products and, thanks to this change in paradigm, increasingly more companies need design engineers on their teams. Generosa Cerviño explained that steadiness, self-control, boldness, abstraction and attention to regulations are some of the personality features that Indaux looks for in a design engineer. And with respect to skills, she highlighted resistance to adversity, team work, initiative, customer orientation and the ability to plan. But above all, she advised students at Tecnum to be motivated when attending job interviews, and to like the market and the sector in which they wish to work.
