Celebration for automation careers

November 25, 2008

This year’s ISA EXPO celebrated the inaugural Automation Career Week, an event endorsed by ISA and the Automation Federation and supported by Governor Rick Perry (TX). Automation Career Week honored automation professionals’ contributions and celebrated the future of tomorrow’s workforce. It included several events targeting young automation professionals and aspiring young students with events taking place throughout the week of ISA EXPO, held at the Reliant Center in Houston, Texas, 14-16 October.
Student teams from Russia, Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Colombia and the US competed and demonstrated their skills while having an opportunity to network and meet other students who share their passion for automation and engineering. The competition provided an opportunity for ISA student members worldwide to further their knowledge of automation and control technologies.
