Cumbria, UK Students Achieve Industrial Cadet Silver Awards with Jacobs Published September 1, 2015 Jacobs recently awarded a group of students their Industrial Cadet Silver Awards after they completed the Jacobs Workplace Experience program at our Westlakes Science & Technology Park, West Cumbria, in the United Kingdom. Industrial Cadets is a unique UK industry-led accreditation that provides UK employers with a structured approach to providing workplace experiences for 11- to 19-year-olds. At the end of the week-long program, students from local schools had the opportunity to meet and deliver presentations to a distinguished audience including representatives from the UK’s Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and Sellafield Limited. The IMechE is one of the fastest growing professional engineering institutions with members in more than 140 countries. Presenting Silver Awards to the new Industrial Cadets, Dr. Colin Brown, Director of Engineering at IMechE, said, “Jacobs is class-leading in developing links with the education sector in Cumbria. By working across a wide range of employers on the ‘Energy Coast’ and engaging a high proportion of schools in the Work Experience Network, it is opening opportunities for both itself and local students. Jacobs’ support for apprenticeships in schemes like ‘Industrial Cadets’ alongside graduate careers is already beginning to narrow the gender divide and improve retention in a sector where both have been issues for many years. It’s a great example of how inclusivity and corporate social responsibility are working to the benefit of both employer and the community.” Jacobs’ UK Workplace Experience program is accredited by Industrial Cadets and is divided into half days with some of the skills activities delivered by Jacobs’ recent UK graduates and apprentices. Students handle a range of activities across disciplines such as mechanical, civil, and process engineering and accumulate a file of evidence. They are certificated for a Silver Award if they demonstrate a positive attitude throughout the necessary 30 hours of workplace experience. Recent Industrial Cadets enjoyed the experience so much they have since returned for a follow-on week shadowing Jacobs employees in a particular discipline, and others are applying for Jacobs’ UK Apprenticeship Program. Graduate opportunities at Jacobs Internships & apprenticeships at Jacobs More about Industrial Cadets Jacobs Awarded at Australian Institute of Architects Published September 1, 2015 Jacobs received an Australian Institute of Architects Award (AIA) for the design of medical product company CSL’s Global Corporate Headquarters, located at its research and development base in Parkville, Melbourne. Jacobs led the design for the refurbishment and extension of the facility; an original 1963 Administration Building which no longer functioned adequately for CSL's global operations. Our team successfully designed the building to a high standard, while maintaining the integrity of the original building and reflecting CSL’s advancement in blood technologies in the architectural design. The finished building offers improved site access and security, flexible office zones promoting collaboration, a more prominent reception with improved adjacencies to the main entry, increased informal spaces, and dedicated meeting rooms. The project succeeded in the Commercial Architecture category of the Victorian chapter of AIA; Australia’s peak architectural body. This excellent achievement demonstrates our strong skills in the architectural space and provides an opportunity to showcase our best work to our clients and the wider industry.

The company was nominated by an intern, Fabian Raaphorst, who worked for Jacobs in 2014. His nomination was inspired by interesting and challenging assignments, good guidance and coaching. The jury chose Jacobs based on criteria such as the role of interns in our organization, development opportunities, guidance and coaching, working conditions and end results. Fabian currently works at Jacobs on a mechanical engineering team and is writing a manual for fire heated equipment. "I understand why Jacobs was nominated," Fabian said. "I have a challenging task, but my supervisors and colleagues help me out when necessary. The guidance I get at Jacobs is much better than in any of my previous internships." Studentenbureau encounters many situations in which working conditions for interns can be improved. Trainees indicate that they are getting no or little guidance and that they are not being treated seriously. By organizing this award, the company aims to create awareness within businesses, government and education to structurally improve the conditions for interns.
