Gaining Skills For Life At Trigon - By Midhunn Kumar

Midhunn Kumar, Graduate at Trigon Fire Safety says:

“It can be challenging transitioning from graduating university to becoming a working professional, especially in an ever-changing industry like fire safety engineering. However, this change isn’t as intimidating as you may think.

Trigon has helped facilitate a smooth transition for me from academia to the workforce, providing invaluable support and mentorship along the way. Beyond technical knowledge, I continue to develop essential skills for life such as time management, problem-solving, and effective communication. Each day presents new challenges and opportunities for growth, contributing to a well-rounded skill set that extends far beyond the workplace.

Despite not having prior experience in the field of fire safety engineering, Trigon welcomed me with open arms, recognising the value of my chemical engineering background and the value of having a diverse group of employees. The directors and senior leadership team have served as mentors, providing guidance and encouragement as I pursue my long-term career aspirations.

What I enjoy most about Trigon is the dynamic nature of the work environment. No two-days are alike, offering an atmosphere that encourages creativity and champions problem-solving. The field of fire safety is inherently rewarding, and Trigon's commitment to excellence ensures that every project contributes to the safety and well-being of communities and aligns with my own personal values.

My interest in the world of buildings, coupled with Trigon's comprehensive training program, has equipped me with the tools necessary to excel in this field. Through a combination of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience, Trigon is setting me up with skills for life that transcend the workplace.

As someone who is still learning about the world of fire safety engineering as well as being involved in multiple projects, I can attest to the benefits of combining theoretical learning with practical experience, resulting in engineering application on real buildings. This is why I can personally see the benefits of both Trigon’s graduate scheme and apprenticeship scheme. Both schemes give the tools and mentorship to young individuals to become successful professionals in the real world.

In summary, Trigon Fire Safety not only provides excellent career prospects for a diverse group of employees but also fosters personal and professional development, ensuring that every individual is equipped with skills they can utilise throughout their life.

I hope that anyone who reads this and is wondering what their next step may be, considers a future in fire safety engineering.”
