Celebrating International Women in Engineering Day 🙌🏼🎉

Lintott Control Systems is delighted to support International Women in Engineering day, an awareness campaign founded by Women’s Engineering Society that highlights the role of women in the engineering industry and the career opportunities for women in this sector.

It is a fact that Industry is facing a skills crisis & more engineers & technicians are required to help stoke creativity & the economy. Figures as of June 2021 show that 16.5% of engineers are women, INWED gives women engineers around the world a profile when they are still hugely under-represented in their professions. Lintott holds the view that it is vital for businesses, learning institutions & other partners to work collaboratively to inspire future generations to forge a career in a STEM-based (science, technology, engineering & mathematics) profession.

Embracing Nature: Barnabee Meadow! 

🦋🍓🌿

In 2019, commenced Lintott’s environmental & wildlife project “Barnabee Meadow” (reflecting Norfolk’s name for a ladybird, known as a “ Bishy Barnabee”).  Fusing both Lintott’s Environmental Excellence Programme & its HRM Strategy (which seeks to continually enhance the employee experience). To date, this includes the shrubs, grasses & alpines, a grassland, strawberry planter, bug factory, bird boxes, pond area, a fenced-off walkway, & an outside seating area.  As well as being a sanctuary which seeks to promote local wildlife, including beautiful butterflies, Barnabee Meadow provides a rest area for both colleagues & visitors, which is especially lovely in the summer time! ☀️

Back to Face-to-face Learning – Fuelled by Lintott

It has been reported that the number of young people taking computer science & IT related subjects at GCSE level has dropped 40% since 2015. This is troubling given digital skills are vital to the economy. With this in mind, Lintott Control Systems has made its Industry Accelerator Training Academy available to the Norfolk NCCE Computing Hub. The Hub has the primary objective to up-skill teachers to become specialists in computer science.

Over the last 3 years, hundreds of teachers, have been trained, which until most recently due to the COVID-19 pandemic, took place on-line. With the lifting of restrictions, face-to-face training has resumed.

Adam Gibson, who runs the Norfolk NCCE Norfolk Computing Hub, commented, “I am very grateful to Lintott who provided use of their training suite free of charge. This means the training venue hire fee can be invested in physical computing kit for Norfolk schools to use for free”.
