Representatives from the global power management company, Eaton, spoke to SETU’s supply chain management students on upcoming work experience opportunities.
Eaton creates energy efficient products and services to help customers effectively manage their electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical power, with a strong emphasis on efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
Eaton and SETU’s relationship has spanned over five years. Through this collaborative relationship, both organisations are building strong talent pipeline through expanded work placement opportunities.
Industry careers
Representatives from Eaton visited SETU’s campus to meet with students from the university’s Bachelor of Business (Honours) in Supply Chain Management degree to discuss career opportunities within the industry. With strong ties to the university through its work placement opportunities, Eaton visits the campus annually to engage directly with supply chain management students.
Among the speakers were SETU graduates Anam Kahn, Justin A House and Liam Whelan, who had previously completed work placement opportunities with Eaton as part of their degrees before beginning full-time positions with the company.
We are delighted to host Eaton at SETU each year. It is always invaluable for our students to hear directly from alumni who have had experiences and careers with a global company like Eaton.
Dr Patricia Maher SETU Supply Chain Management lecturer
Eaton benefits greatly from its relationship with SETU, from the high standard of students who add significant value during their internships with us, to the recruitment to permanent positions of their graduates, it is an important pillar in our talent acquisition process.
