Identifying Young Talent: Combilift Supports Future Engineers
The first award ceremony is scheduled to take place in August 2027, following the announcement of the Leaving Certificate results, at Combilift's headquarters in Monaghan. The company plans to present the award annually thereafter.
The award was introduced on October 2, 2026, during a Manufacturing Day event. According to Combilift, more than 100 students aged 17 and teachers of engineering and technology from County Monaghan participated.
Insights into Automation and Driverless Transport
The event program included a tour of the production facilities as well as practical activities in the fields of mechatronics, electrical engineering, electronics, technical engineering, and lean management. In addition, students gained insights into automation and driverless material transport.
The aim was for the participants to learn how technical knowledge can be applied in different areas of a modern manufacturing company. The manufacturer links the initiative with the goal of sparking more interest among young people in technical subjects and future careers in the manufacturing industry.
Training Program Connects Theory and Practice
The event also introduced the OEM Engineering Apprenticeship Programme. The three-year Level 6 engineering training combines college education with practical experience in industrial companies. A college phase of the program is conducted at Monaghan Institute. Participants can also gain practical experience in Combilift manufacturing.
Fostering Young Talent at the Monaghan Site
The "Future Engineers Award" is initially limited to County Monaghan. According to Combilift, the aim is to encourage other manufacturing companies in Ireland and other countries to introduce similar programs in their regions. The manufacturer points to its previous commitment to fostering young technical talent.
Since the company's founding 28 years ago, Combilift has supported various such initiatives. These include the OEM Engineering Apprenticeship Programme, as well as activities in the context of Lego League, STEM, and VEX Robotics in secondary schools. According to Combilift, more than 850 people are employed at the Monaghan site. A total of 250,000 people work directly in the Irish manufacturing industry.
