We are pleased to announce that Sophie Hobbs has qualified as a librarian following a two-year apprenticeship with TWI.
At TWI, we are known for our engineering expertise such as from our internationally-renowned Technology Fellows, but there are lots of other colleagues working behind the scenes to help deliver world-class services to our membership.
This includes those who work in our information and knowledge services team, such as Sophie, who manage a large quantity of technical knowledge, published papers, digital publications, historical Welding Institute documents, and more.
Sophie joined TWI as an apprentice librarian on 19 June, 2023 and passed her apprenticeship this month. Her two years at TWI was marked with a cake as staff congratulated her on completing her apprenticeship and becoming a fully-qualified librarian.
Speaking on her experience at TWI, Sophie said, “I have loved every minute of working here so far,” continuing, “I have been involved in some truly incredible and interesting projects, and TWI has helped me grow in ways I never would have imagined. TWI is such a special place to work with a rich heritage of innovation, and I'm proud to be a part of it.” Sophie added, “I cannot wait to see what's next!”
We are pleased to have been able to support Sophie during her apprenticeship and would like to congratulate her on its completion.
