Max Lewandowski, James Napp and Alex Moreton
Paxton offers annual scholarships to support the growth and development of local STEM students. This year they are awarded to Alex Moreton and Max Lewandowski from University of Brighton, and James Napp from University of Sussex.
Steve Taylor, Paxton’s Chief Technical Officer, said: “The scholarship programme demonstrates to local students the career opportunities available down the road. By working alongside professional engineers and developers, they can gain significant experience working on real-world projects and add genuine value, as well as experience first-hand what is it like to work in a technology company.
“As a Brighton-based technology manufacturer, we work in partnership with local universities to develop the potential of the next generation of engineering talent. The scholarship programme is one of the initiatives that achieves this.”
This is the sixth year that Paxton has offered engineering scholarships to local university students studying STEM courses. Successful applicants receive £10,000 each towards their final year university fees, and a three-month paid work placement within Paxton’s experienced Development department.
The scholars have been working at Paxton for more than a month and have found the placement beneficial for building new skill sets that will be useful in their future career.
