Staying on target with new skills to meet Net Zero by 2050

This is a Sheffield Branch event organised and run by our Sheffield Branch for its members. Other members and non-members are welcome to join us.

Overview: Many non-engineering personnel can be forgiven for inferring that all personnel identified as ‘welding engineers’ have the necessary skills needed to provide solutions associated with ALL joining methods, even if they are solely involved with metallic materials.  This is a very precarious situation for such personnel to find themselves faced with, especially as we move into an era where joining engineering required by the energy and transportation sectors will become a critical discipline for success. This talk will consider the issues and opportunities this challenge presents.
