Birr Rotor Factory

What is an Industrial Sight?

In the past, trainees have said that they wished that they had more industry exposure during their time in Switzerland. To respond to this need, IAESTE created "Industrial Sights", for the first time in the summer of 2001. Industrial Sights is designed to take trainees to different companies and introduce them to different technologies. The trips are designed to last between 2 and 4 hours and will cover the basic areas of that particular company. Don't be scared; this is not school!

Program

The visit will take place at Alstom's rotor factory in Birr on the afternoon of Friday, April 18. We will have an introductory presentation about Alstom's businesses and products, followed by a guided tour of the highly advanced manufacturing facility at Birr. You will learn about international careers at a large and dynamic corporation like Alstom, from commissioning and servicing power plants on all corners of the globe to developing and generating the next generation of energy and transport technologies. Find out how your skills and schooling can fit into Alstom! An apéro that follows will give you the opportunity to speak to current Alstom employees.

Cost

There is no cost except for a return ticket to Birr AG. You will have to gain permission from your employer to attend this Industrial Sight, which takes place on the afternoon of Friday, April 18.
