As part of the partnership signed on May 16 with the Lille campus, Hugues Roland, head of the design office at KSB's Sequedin site, presented Arts et Métiers various professions related to the life cycle of a pump. He emphasized the importance of the lessons taught as part of their training, so that they correspond to the needs of industrial sites.
The aim is to put the teaching provided at Arts et Métiers into perspective Arts et Métiers the skills and attitudes that are useful in business. "Arts et Métiers providesArts et Métiers with a solid foundation for starting your working life. Every year, KSB recruits engineering interns, particularly from the Arts et Métiers school Arts et Métiers emphasizes Hugues Roland.
For this leading German manufacturer of pumps and valves, which is also a pioneer in eco-design, the lessons taught in the Arts et Métiers engineering program Arts et Métiers particularly relevant. "Everything you learn in practical work or in class can be directly applied, for example in a design office," explains Hugues Roland, who heads a team of three engineers and three technicians. "It is essential to have a solid technical foundation in order to be able to exchange ideas with experts and continuously improve the performance of our products."
Of course, we will recruit engineers with technical skills, but increasingly, we are looking at soft skills, how young people fit into teams, and we place importance on foreign language skills. At KSB, English is essential, and German is also very important.
Throughout a product's life cycle, engineers strive to continuously optimize manufacturing processes and methods and adapt them to market needs. KSB manufactures products using connected, high-performance, innovative tools in line with Industry 4.0 principles. According to Hugues Roland, managerial skills are essential in product development in order to bring out the best in the team's talents and highlight all their technical knowledge and skills.
Thanks to the partnership signed between Arts et Métiers KSB, engineering students will be able to benefit from KSB's expertise throughout the year to enrich their education through several initiatives:
- Visit to the company to learn about its organization and business lines
- Participation in student guidance: internship, work-study, or job offers
- Presentation of a method or expertise applied at KSB
