Mechanical engineering students at Banff and Buchan College visited EnerMech in Aberdeen as part of their course.
They toured production, repair and maintenance testing workshops – some of the areas where the students aspire to work.
EnerMech has 1,100 staff and provides a range of mechanical engineering services to the international oil and gas sector.
Mechanical engineering course leader Steven Wilson said: “We are grateful to EnerMech for their support. These visits are an essential part of our full-time engineering students’ curriculum. Some were from the Get Ready for Work programme. Their course is supported through Skills Development Scotland.
“It consists of a broad range of engineering disciplines including manufacture, maintenance, electronic, electrical, fabri-cation and welding.
“It gives students a taster in engineering, which helps inspire an informed career choice.”
The tour offers students a real-world experience and gives focus to their further learning, practical skills and theoretical knowledge in maths, science and technology.
