Well done to our SuperGEMs⭐️

Last week marked the culmination of three weeks of dedication and hard work from 39 students from Ardnashee and Knockavoe Colleges🙌😊

Throughout the programme, students engaged in a range of practical workplace activities, supported by five fantastic local companies: MiM, Foyle Port, McColgan’s Foods, Seagate, and Hunters. Their commitment and collaboration helped create a truly meaningful experience✨

Session 3 of GEMX LEAN on ME was kindly hosted by McColgan's Quality Foods

Attended by representatives from, Inishowen Engineering, Seating Matters, DuPont, Seagate, Zeus, and McColgan’s, the LEAN on ME programme enables the sharing of best practice between leadership teams of GEMX companies while encouraging networking and peer debate. McColgan’s is a great example of a NW company, promoting continuous improvement in a safety-focused, competitive production environment. McColgan’s showcased their effective usage of digitalization, included the group in a range of operational meetings, and provided us with a closer look through a factory tour.

Thanks to the wider McColgan’s team for their hospitality during the visit.
