In 2024, the focus is on the diverse educational backgrounds of our employees. Representatives from different departments and countries share the experience they have had when working with colleagues who have taken different educational paths and how this is precisely why an effective exchange of ideas and information takes place at NORMA Group.\u202f<\/em><\/p><p>Rita Melo, Quality Control, and Sergio Goncalves, Quality Manager, work in the same team at our site in \u00c0gueda, Portugal. While Rita has only recently completed her studies in Materials Engineering, Sergio already has years of experience in the working world after his studies of Industrial Engineering. How do their differing educational backgrounds and their experience shape the success of the team and NORMA Group?<\/p><p><strong>Rita, Sergio, could you talk to us about your educational backgrounds?<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Rita:<\/strong> I studied Bio Engineering \u2013 a decision that I took based on my fascination with the convergence of engineering and the exciting field of life sciences. During my studies, I became interested in certain topics that made me want to take a closer look at the field of materials engineering. I then decided to do my Master\u2019s degree in Materials Engineering.<\/p><p>This course of study provided me with a deeper insight into the behavior, properties and practical applications of various materials, from innovative polymers to high-performance metals. Throughout the Master\u2019s program, I had the opportunity to work on several projects that challenged me technically and allowed me to explore processes and the properties of a wide range of materials.<\/p><p><strong>Sergio:<\/strong> I studied Industrial Engineering with a focus on management. It allowed me to gain significant insight into areas such as electronics, mechanical engineering, programming, energy and sustainability. After graduating, there were all kinds of career opportunities open to me: I have friends who studied the same thing that I did and work in consulting or programming. But most of them, like me, work in industry.<\/p><p><strong>Can you describe how information and ideas are exchanged in your team? <\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Sergio: <\/strong>We are a pretty small team and share the office with another colleague who is responsible for environment, health and safety. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-cbd78ff elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"cbd78ff\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5f3ee40\" data-id=\"5f3ee40\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12947c1 elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"12947c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\u201cWe have a range of different backgrounds, but we work very well together and there is a strong team spirit.\u201d \t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b0058a6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b0058a6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7bb006d\" data-id=\"7bb006d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f8d7e7f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f8d7e7f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We each have our own knowledge that we contribute to our daily work.<\/p><p>This is not only due to the different degrees that we have, but also because we come from different generations.
