A young rising star at Coventry-based FANUC is celebrating ending his first full year of apprenticeship studies, recently winning Best First Year BTEC Student of the Year at the Midland Group Training Services (MGTS) Apprenticeship Awards 2016. Having achieved distinctions in all of his subjects, George Wise was nominated by his tutors who praised his “industrious and mature approach to further education studies.”
When it comes to his studies, George attributes his success to self-discipline, which he believes have been honed by working in FANUC’s busy environment and interacting with customers and colleagues.
Despite receiving apprenticeship offers from several other companies, 19 year old says that FANUC was and would still be his first choice. “Other than my interest in robotics and automation, I was attracted by FANUC’s wide product range which would give me opportunities to gain experience in multiple areas. Automation is an industry that is on a growth curve, where technology is continually evolving and getting smarter. As a result, I feel confident that I will have a secure career in the future.”
