I joined STI as a Trainee SMT Operator; I had no previous experience in working in the electronics industry so was put through the STI Training School where I learned all about component recognition, ESD, H&S and all other necessary tools for my job. I feel STI offers opportunities for development for those that want it and are determined. I’ve had colleagues go from Operator to Engineer, Wash Operator to Programmer – and now I’m one of those who has also progressed.
