Sulzer Scholarship for Women in Science and EngineeringApril 11, 2019Sulzer has launched the “Sulzer Scholarship for Women in Science and Engineering” directed at female students studying for degrees in the areas of engineering, technology and science.
With a network of over 180 production and service sites in over 50 countries, our diverse workforce is comprised of cutting-edge and highly-qualified employees across the business including executives, engineers, salespeople, shop and administrative personnel.
We know from experience, that diverse teams are stronger and we are tackling the gender gap in what has been a largely male-dominated industrial manufacturing and services industry.
We embrace a diverse workforce where people of different cultural backgrounds, nationalities, genders and ages collaborate together and share ideas across the company. These collaborations are reflections of our values; committed people and operational excellence that enable us, our customers and our partners to win.
Close collaboration with academic institutions has enabled Sulzer to attract talented young women to build our teams and foster cultural exchange through job rotation programs, internships, short-term assignments and temporary relocations. These programs help to facilitate our experienced employees to work closely with apprentices and younger professionals to share and embrace different viewpoints.
To further develop the strengths and diversity of our employees, we have implemented the following initiatives and recognize our employees who are committed to improving diversity at the workplace
