(Sault Ste. Marie, ON July 25, 2023) – Sault College and Tenaris continue to foster a strong partnership in support of student learning and workforce development. To complement this, a small group from Sault College visited Mexico and had the opportunity to visit Tenaris’s seamless mill, Tamsa, in Veracruz, TenarisUniversity, technical high schools with a Tenaris affiliation, and the Escuela Técnica Roberto Rocca to get a firsthand glimpse into Tenaris’ focus on supporting and delivering education.
Throughout the visit, faculty and staff gained further knowledge into Tenaris’ commitment to supporting the communities they operate in and how Sault College can work together with Tenaris. Sault College representatives also had the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions to support future collaborations, such as facilitating student mobility, faculty exchanges and research projects.
Sault College and Tenaris share a common commitment to excellence in education and innovation, making this partnership mutually valuable. Sault College Robotics Professor Donovan Kennedy participated in the visit and shared his enthusiasm. “I was proud to represent Sault College and witness firsthand the dedication and passion of both the students and faculty. It was a testament to the commitment Tenaris has towards nurturing talent and to providing quality education. It also allowed us the opportunity to share and learn from each other's expertise and experiences.”
"Participating in these types of visits reinforces our commitment to Tenaris and our shared goal of supporting education and workforce development. We value our ongoing partnership and look forward to continuing to collaborate on innovative educational initiatives that will benefit both learners and the broader labour force in Sault Ste. Marie," added David Orazietti, President, Sault College.
“This visit not only underscores the strength of our partnership but speaks to our long-term vision,” shared Tenaris Human Resources Sr Director in Canada, Angela Cruickshank. “Education is a central value at Tenaris and through collaboration with like-minded partners, we can enrich and advance the potential of broader initiatives like these to support the development of future generations, personally and professionally.”
