and read what she has to say about it
Her new role is a Wellness CAD Designer at
Technogym. The company designs gym equipment to
sell to fitness centres. Her job is to create
virtual environments to show customers what their
gyms would look like filled with Technogym equipment.
She said "I love my job because there's scope for
creativity; I'm helping to sell an idea.
"I deal with a new drawing every day, and I'm
using my college course all the time!"
Peter Bolam, Wellness CAD Manager, said "we've hired many
Bracknell & Wokingham College students in the past. "
"Even
though they often don't have much experience, their
knowledge and ability
is sometimes above other candidates with 10-15 years'
experience, or a degree in CAD.
"Julie was the quickest ever through our CAD
test when she came to interview."
