New Investment to Establish Training Scheme at Ingen-Ideas Ltd

INGEN-IDEAS LIMITED has implemented an Institute of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) approved training course for all non-chartered chemical engineers within the company.  The company is investing heavily in training and development of staff and believes that even in this current economic climate it is worthwhile and necessary to position the business for success going forward.  Robbie Leask, Technical Director believes that: “implementing this training scheme builds on our commitment to grow and develop all our employees.”  

Senior management believes the industry skills shortage is ever present even in this fragile economic environment and wants to position the company for future growth.  “Investment in staff is one of the key goals of the company and implementation of the training scheme has been in preparation for almost two years.” Wayne Strachan, Commercial Director. 

It is the Ingen’s policy to provide a comprehensive programme of training and experience, ensuring that all engineers seeking Chartered Engineer status develop a wide knowledge of appropriate professional engineering skills.  The training scheme will also provide a broad understanding of applied chemical engineering to the benefit of the company, its employees and its clients.

It is expected that all participants in the scheme will be in a position to apply for full Corporate membership typically within three to five years through a combination of experience developed through direct work assignments, including secondments and training – both formal courses and “on the job” training as defined by Ingen’s approved scheme.  In doing so, it is expected that an engineer will meet the requirements as set out by the IChemE.
