IFP invests in youth: an event dedicated to talent and the future

Training tomorrow's workers to strengthen the industrial fabric

IFP, a prominent name in the semi-finished and finished wire production field, recently participated in an event dedicated to high school students, organized in collaboration with local employment offices and the staffing agency MAW. The gathering, designed to introduce young people to the workforce, engaged about 380 students in practical activities and games, offering them a firsthand look at the challenges and skills required in the metalworking sector.

Training: a priority for companies and the region

IFP's participation in the event highlights the significance of corporate involvement in the professional growth of future workers, especially at a time when technical training and the integration of skilled resources present a complex challenge. Nowadays, companies must do more than simply offer jobs: they must create programs that stimulate curiosity and practical engagement, helping young people understand the competencies required.

The event's main protagonists were the students, who participated in a logic game that simulated the simplified production cycle of a steel wire. Through this exercise, participants experienced the essential elements of planning and problem-solving in the industrial production world.

Education beyond theory

At the end of the event, IFP's HR manager stated that, while work is not a piece of cake, a simple game can reveal how intuitive, interested, attentive, and engaged a person is, as well as how cohesive, collaborative, and problem-solving-oriented a group is. This event underscored the importance of companies observing these qualities early on in the training phase.

For companies in the metalworking sector, the future of productivity and competitiveness partly hinges on the ability to identify and nurture young talents with teamwork skills, flexibility, and adaptability. Events like this are thus valuable opportunities not just for students but also for companies, which can spot potential collaborators capable of making a difference.

In a context where the supply of qualified personnel remains challenging, the commitment of IFP and other companies to "cultivating" young local talents becomes a crucial asset for the future of the industry.
