PETRONAS Lubricants International recently organised a sharing session with students from Despark International College, a leading local automotive and aircraft maintenance learning institute. 


Held virtually previously, the latest edition of the event was organised physically and saw around 100 students participating. The event was aimed at bridging the gap by providing real-life industry exposure and insights into the profession. 





PETRONAS Trackside Fluid Engineer, Dr Safwan Hanis spoke about the importance of being a team-player and making the most out of his opportunities.


“I’m extremely blessed to have been part of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team. Being part of the team has been a great learning experience for me, and I am thrilled to share my experience with the students of Despark International College’’


‘’I hope to inspire and empower young talents who especially have high interest in the automotive industry to pursue their passion and believe in their abilities to excel and go far in the industry” he added. 

.



Interestingly, students were able to gain insights into the automotive industry as well as learn from Dr Safwan’s experience as a PETRONAS Trackside Fluid Engineer whose role is to provide technical support to the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One (F1) Team. 


While the strive to develop high-end fluid technology for partners and consumers continues, PETRONAS Lubricants International also believes in equipping the next generation with real-life industry insights and perspectives
