To innovate in technology, companies must train their engineers

The specialist also points out that trusting young people implies promoting knowledge and innovation within the company, because they arrive with creative thinking to influence the engineers who perhaps saw the products from a single point of view.

“They ask the right questions thanks to their knowledge, they think about things in a really curious and innovative way to build ideas from scratch accompanied by mentoring”, says Vincent and assures that from his university they not only innovate in the manufacture of products, but also in education.

“There are models in which people study and work at the same time, they are very well recognized, but these institutions do not do it at the same time. They are not really applying what they learn and they do not have the same kind of support and advice in practice. This gives them a different approach to their work for the future”, she points out.

The Dyson Institute has more than 150 students, a first generation of graduates and at the last start of classes they received more than 650 applications to enter; however, for now not everyone in the world can study there, unless they are refugees.

In this regard, Vincent concludes that they hope to inspire other companies to establish their own institute, with which to provide a greater range of opportunities and change the traditional model of both education and the technology industry.
