After more than two years and 10,000+ downloads of 50 Shades of Hospitality Podcasts, your producers and hosts, Egidio Marcato and Crystal Forest Cavin discuss their motivation and passion for creating a global hospitality podcast.  In this podcast Egidio and Crystal are pleased to announce their future collaboration with Mauricio Schuler and his company, Schulering HUB.  Schulering HUB, is all about passion for the hospitality industry, education, life-long learning and using strong networks to share information and inspire.  Their mission statement says it all: “To innovate and elevate the hospitality work and learning experience, making it more personalized, flexible, and transparent.”50 Shades of Hospitality is dedicated to learning from industry players around the world. The podcasts are a series of interviews with international hospitality and tourism industry professionals. Guests are prompted to share their personal experiences, as well as analyse the current trends, technology and innovations. The goal of 50 Shades of Hospitality is to inspire people in the field and to encourage young people to join this exciting industry. We are committed to evaluating the current educational and training opportunities for industry professionals in the hopes of finding solutions to the challenges the industry is now facing.   Egidio Marcato is from the Veneto region of Italy, has had a prestigious career in hospitality and hospitality education. Egidio studied hotel management in Abano Terme and received a Master in Business Administration from Endicott College in the US. He has worked for over four decades to promote the profession of hotel receptionist and co-founded the Swiss AICR competition for best receptionist known as the Bucherer Trophy.  In 2015 he was appointed president of the jury for the David Campbell Trophy (world's best receptionist award).  In recognition of his vast experience and expertise, SwissSkills appointed him Swiss expert/coach at WorldSkills and EuroSkills for the profession of hotel receptionist. In 2020, he founded his own company, the Swiss Hospitality Guild, a training centre for those wishing to excel in the art of hospitality. Crystal Forest Cavin is a native of California and began working in the hospitality and tourism industries in 1973 in the San Francisco Bay Area.  She holds a Bachelor's degree in History from San Francisco State University and a Master's degree in Education and Educational Technology from the University of San Francisco. Since 1986 she has taught English and Geopolitics at several prestigious schools in Switzerland, including the Swiss Polytechnic University (EPFL), Glion Hospitality Management School (GIHE) and the Geneva Hotel School (Ecole Hôtelière de Genève).In 2021, Crystal began coaching candidates for SwissSkills, EuroSkills and WorldSkills. She is also a judge for the SwissSkills Hotel Reception competition in Bern.  

In this podcast, we speak to Carmen Többen who won the WorldSkills Gold Medal for best receptionist in Lyon, France last year.  After winning the Gold Medal at the SwissSkills competition in Bern in 2022 and the EuroSkills Gold Medal in Gdansk, Poland in 2023, Carmen used those exceptional experiences to win gold in Lyon. Carmen walks us through the prestigious WorldSkills competition by describing the different tasks she had to perform and explains how she trained for these four, very intense days.   We question Carmen on how she trained and managed to stay focused under immense pressure and how these competitions demand both physical and mental preparation.   Carmen also describes the comradery that these competitions create and how being able to compete against young people from around the world was a reward in itself. By sharing some memorable moments and talking us through the past three years of intensive training, our listeners can better understand how becoming the World's best receptionist demanded perseverance, confidence and a very strong network of support not only from her family, but also from the hotels that Carmen worked in during these competitions.  While working at the Baur au Lac, one of Zurich's most luxurious hotels, Carmen received first-class job training and the staff were thrilled to learn that she had won gold in Lyon. Carmen Többen studied at the Schulhotel Regina in Interlaken, Switzerland and received a Swiss Federal certificate as a Hotel Communication Specialist and went on to work at hotels in Thun and in Zermatt.  In 2023 she joined the Baur au Lac in Zurich as a hotel receptionist and went on to become a Front Office Supervisor.  In September of this year, she will continue her education by starting a Bachelor Degree in Hotel Management at the Lucerne Hotel School.     

Today's guest, Louise Azzopardi, didn't just fall into the automotive world. She ran toward it, with confidence and clarity most of us didn't have at 15. From her earliest days wrenching in rail yards and truck shops to standing on the world stage as the first woman to compete (and win gold) at Australia's WorldSkills nationals, Louise has never followed the conventional path. She didn't just want to work in the trades; she wanted to change them.After enduring bullying, sexism, and mental health challenges, Louise stepped into something more powerful than technical mastery; coaching, mentoring, and equipping tradespeople with the emotional tools they were never taught. Now the host of Anxious Tradeswoman (Building Confidence), a life coach, and a global speaker, Louise is on a mission to make the trades a place where everyone, regardless of gender, background, or body size, can thrive.In this episode, we cover:

Ziema nav šķērslis remonta darbiem! Kas jāņem vērā gada aukstajā laikā, veicot remonta darbus mājoklī un kādas gudrības jāliek lietā, lai par paveikto būtu prieks arī citos gadalaikos, interesējamies raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot.

À la découverte du savoir-faire français aux WorldSkills 2024

Was haben Julian Nagelsmann und Kai Laugsch gemeinsam? Sie sind beide Mitte 30 – und sie sind beide Bundestrainer: Der eine arbeitet für die DFB-Auswahl, der andere für die AM-Nationalmannschaft. (DFB steht für Deutscher Fußballbund, AM steht für Additive Manufacturing, also 3D-Druck.) Beide Männer sind maximal motiviert – und trotzdem gingen sie jeweils mit leeren Händen aus den jüngsten, internationalen Wettbewerben hervor. Dennoch haben beide auch gewonnen: An Sympathie und an Erfahrung. Was sie unterscheidet: Über Nagelsmann wurde zuletzt fast alles gesagt. Über Laugsch noch nicht. Deshalb kommt der Südwestfale in der aktuellen Folge des Podcasts „Druckwelle“ zu Wort. Der 36-Jährige schildert, wie die Weltmeisterschaft der Berufe, die „WorldSkills 2024“, verliefen. Sein besonderes Augenmerk gilt dabei natürlich dem AM-Team. „Unser Finalist in Lyon, Fabian Eisenschink von der Krones AG, erreichte am Ende den 9. Platz.“ Dies sei unter den gegebenen Voraussetzungen höchst respektabel. „Asiatische Teilnehmer werden für den Wettbewerb von ihren Unternehmen über Monate weitestgehend freigestellt.“ Auch sei die gestellte Hardware eher in Fernost im Einsatz – weniger in Europa. Auf der Druckwelle erklärt der Trainer, welche anspruchsvollen Aufgaben es im Rahmen der sechstägigen WM zu lösen galt – und warum die deutsche Nationalmannschaft beim nächsten Wettbewerb gewinnen wird…

Zwei von ihnen sind zu Gast im Tagesgespräch: Die Hotelkommunikationsfachfrau Carmen Többen und der Konstrukteur Luis Salzmann. Insgesamt ist die Schweiz mit 45 Wettkämpferinnen und Wettkämpfer vor Ort. Die letzten Monate seien streng gewesen, sagt Luis Salzmann. Er habe die Lehre abgeschlossen, die Berufsmatura gemacht und gleichzeitig die «Worldskills» vorbereitet. Er freue sich nun auf den Wettkampf. Die stärkste Konkurrenz erwartet er aus Asien, doch er geht davon aus, dass er kreativer auf Aufgaben reagieren könne, die vom Erwarteten abweichen, als seine Konkurrenz. Auch Carmen Többen hat sich intensiv vorbereitet. Sie wird an den Wettkämpfen mit Schauspielern konfrontiert sein, die sie an der Reception mit besonderen Problemen aufs Glatteis führen wollen Der ganze Aufwand lohne sich, sagt sie. Sich international beweisen zu können, zu zeigen, dass sie bereit seien, die Extrameile zu gehen, würde ihnen in der weiteren Karriere helfen.

Welcoming over 24,000 students across 300 secondary schools through its doors last year, WorldSkills Ireland returns this September to promote skills and apprenticeship careers and opportunities for young people as they navigate future options following secondary education. A Government and Industry led event, WorldSkills Ireland 2024 is taking place from the 25th - 27th September 2024 at the RDS, Simmonscourt, and will build upon the success of previous events, when thousands of visitors, including students and their parents, gathered to see first-hand the wealth of career options available. Announcing the return of the event, Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science Patrick O'Donovan was joined by past WorldSkills Ireland competitors. Minister O'Donovan comments: "Once again, WorldSkills Ireland will celebrate the best of Irish skills opportunities, with competitors from up to 30 disciplines showcasing the best of their skills and professions. It is a brilliant opportunity for young people from all over the country to explore the variety of skills-based career paths available to them, from traditional fields, like construction and mechanics, to newer areas, such as financial services, green skills and retrofitting. I hear consistent messages from employers in areas of skills demand, so it's great to see events like WorldSkills returning, benefitting both students and employers from across Ireland." Running concurrently with Higher Options, both events aim to raise the profile and recognition of skills and apprenticeships, preparing the talent of today for the careers of the future. Supported by industry partners, SISK, Construction Industry Federation, ESB Networks, Bus Eireann, Dublin Bus and Autodesk, the event is a partnership between enterprise, industry, education, training, and government. Commenting on the broader impact of the event, Ray English, WorldSkills Ireland-Chair/Technical Delegate, adds: "The skills shortage is one of the major challenges across all sectors today. Simply put, we need more skilled people across multiple sectors, and this event reflects the collective support from education, industry, and government. "Skills drive the future, and WorldSkills Ireland 2024 will be a true showcase of the 'best in class' across many different disciplines, offering young people a wealth of options as they transition from secondary education into the workforce." Plans are underway for the 2024 event, and it's been confirmed that the National Skills finals will be taking place at the event showcasing more than 30 varied skills in a competitive setting. WorldSkills Ireland 2024 is set to inspire the next generation of skilled young people to follow their passions, interests, and talents.

An Irish team of cybersecurity experts has triumphed over Australia, Korea, Hong Kong, Chinese Taipei (Taiwan), and Singapore to take Gold at the WorldSkills Global Skills Challenge 2024, hosted by WorldSkills Australia. Mark Drinan and Luke Woodside, guided by Dr George O'Mahony of Munster Technological University (MTU), overcame fierce competition from several nations renowned for their cybersecurity expertise. The victory marks the first time an Irish team has triumphed in an official World Skills Competition in Cybersecurity, with Ireland first entering the cybersecurity skill in 2021. Team Ireland is now setting its sights on the upcoming WorldSkills International Cybersecurity Competition (Skill 54) in Lyon this September as part of WorldSkills Team Ireland. The Challenge As part of the Global Skills Challenge, the teams were put into the scenario of a real-world cyber-attack on a fictitious company that was started based on a rogue malicious USB and insider threat. Over three days the teams had to run digital forensics on an infected end-user computer, each team also had to create reports including a technical brief, a timeline of the cyber-attack, a report for the media and a report for the board of directors. This competition was about accurately identifying what happened and providing real-world preventative measures and recommendations. The Team Team Cybersecurity for WorldSkills Ireland consists of Mark Drinan, a recent graduate from the Cybersecurity Masters at MTU and an engineer at IBM, and Luke Woodside, a graduate from TUS (Technological University Shannon) and Managing Director of Woodside Networks. Mark and Luke beat out stiff competition in regional competitions to make the national team. The team was trained and mentored by MTU Cybersecurity Lecturer and WorldSkills Ireland Expert for Cybersecurity Dr George O'Mahony. The team trained on and competed nationally using MTU's Cyber Range, a state-of-the-art cybersecurity platform unique to Ireland. The facility enables simulations of cyber-attacks on virtual organisations, providing invaluable training for students, researchers, and industry professionals without risking real-world damage or outages. Professor Maggie Cusack, President of MTU, said, "MTU's leadership in cybersecurity education, research and innovation, mentorship and training ensures that our graduates and trainees have the skills, capabilities and confidence to succeed at the highest levels in Ireland and globally. On behalf of everyone at MTU, I am delighted to congratulate our Team Ireland members on their extraordinary achievement of winning gold at the WorldSkills cybersecurity challenge." Dr. George O'Mahony - Cybersecurity Lecturer & Researcher at Cyber Skills at MTU and WorldSkills Ireland Expert Skill 54 - Cybersecurity, said, "This win is a great example of the work Ireland's cybersecurity academics and experts are doing in preparing young Irish professionals to compete on the world stage. It highlights the calibre of talent being produced and the strong pipeline of skilled cybersecurity professionals available in Ireland. The win is a great boost to the team and a big step along their training and upskilling journey. The work Mark and Luke have put in has been a testament to their drive and determination." Mark Drinan, Team Ireland, said, "I am incredibly proud to represent my country and bring home a Gold Medal for Ireland. This medal represents Ireland's commitment to investing in high-quality, practical cybersecurity education." Michael Hourihan (MTU) - WorldSkills Ireland Official Delegate - "This win highlights the positive outcomes that result when skills and technological careers are recognised and promoted at national and international levels. Congratulations to our competitors Luke Woodside and Mark Drinan and to our Cyber Security expert George O'Mahony."

Like the ‘Sound of Music' that has won its place in movie folklore, the 2024 ‘Sound of Studer' themed event that took place at the company's Steffisburg headquarters has won its place in the hearts and minds of the 65 journalists from over 20 countries that attended. The annual Fritz Studer AG event is always packed with the latest innovations in grinding, an insight into the company's ongoing evolution and an overview of the global trends in the manufacturing industry - and the February event once again lived up to its billing. By Rhys Williams Located in the Swiss Alps, in a region more stunning than the backdrop to the legendary movie, the ‘Music Motion Meeting 2024' kicked off with presentations from the management team and was followed by technical presentations on the latest innovations and an insight into what we can expect to see as we move through 2024.  Studer CEO Jens Bleher kicked off proceedings with a presentation that discussed the company's performance over the last 12 months, the market turbulence, new updates to the CORE interface, product enhancements and the pride in the success the Swiss manufacturer continues to enjoy with its success at the World Skills event.  “Despite the challenging investment environment, we again increased our sales, especially in key markets like the USA and China. Asia was the largest single region followed by Central Europe and North America and consistent investments in product development and site infrastructure have paid off. We have turned our announcements into reality and improved our market position to strengthen ourselves for the future in the long term,” the Studer CEO announced.  Studer once again won market share in many regions around the world, and it hit a new sales record in its Customer Care segment. Bleher took it as a positive sign for the 2024 fiscal year that the order situation developed exceptionally well towards the end of 2023. Whilst confident that order intake will continue in a positive direction, the CEO was particularly bullish about the expected performance in the second half of 2024 – a period when the manufacturer of cylindrical grinding machines will present new technologies.  Although the development of incoming orders was weaker in individual markets, such as Germany, China and some Asian countries, other parts of the world saw positive results. At the 2023 event, Turkey and several Eastern European countries were the surprise performers. At this year's event, Sandro Bottazzo, CSO at Studer said: “We achieved good results in many countries and even posted a new record order intake in some.” Some of the standout performers were announced as Spain, Austria and Holland, a welcome boost with the headwinds of global uncertainty and inflation faced by some of the manufacturing powerhouse nations.  Looking at the industry by customer segments, a point that should be marked as a good barometer of worldwide manufacturing performance for MTDCNC readers was that the aerospace industry once again generated the largest increase in new orders. This industry has now overtaken the declining automotive industry for Studer. The ‘tool' manufacturing segment remained below expectations with the largest individual segment for the second consecutive year being ‘precision engineering'. “I am very pleased that our grinding machines are so highly trusted by small and medium-sized enterprises, and that this segment remains strategically important for us,” explained Bottazzo. The ‘mechanical engineering' and ‘mould & die' segments also maintained their critically important positions. The increasing demand for precision cylindrical grinding machines in the semiconductor industry has been marked as very pleasing for Studer with Bottazzo confirming robust semiconductor growth in the Americas and Asia. The performance of specific precision cylindrical grinding machines and maintaining a broad portfolio remained of particular importance in 2023. Incoming orders for CNC universal cylindrical grinding machines were reported as very solid. The machine with the highest sales volume was the S33, followed by the favoritCNC, the S31, the S41 and the favorit. “When it comes to internal cylindrical grinding machines, it was the third-best year for incoming orders in the company's history for the S131,” said Bottazzo. Orders for the new S100 internal cylindrical grinding machine were also very pleasing and exceeded targets. Whilst 2023 sales volumes didn't exceed the 2022 numbers that were reported as the company's third-best year on record, the order value was almost on par. This was due to higher-value turnkey solutions and the Customer Care packages reaching record numbers. Alluding to the Customer Care division, Bottazzo added: “Here we were able to set a sales record for the second consecutive year. This applies to all business areas from maintenance and service to spare parts and overhauls. Particularly pleasing was the development in Eastern Europe, where Studer now performs service with its skilled personnel in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, and Hungary.” This expansion and the incredible growth have lit the way for the company to continue investing in the Customer Care division.  In 2023, Studer participated in more than 30 trade shows. At EMO 2023 the company presented three automation solutions for the first time. The arrival of the new insertLoad loader as well as the roboLoad and uniLoad was a paradigm shift for the company and these were prominent during the press tour of the facility.  Throughout 2023, the focus remained on the development and advancement of grinding technologies. The S36 external cylindrical grinding machine introduced in May 2022 has proven particularly suitable for components in the e-mobility sector since its arrival. Alluding to this, CTO Daniel Huber added: “Now, our customers can use all spindle variants and automation solutions without restrictions on the S36. Thanks to the new, powerful grinding spindle with 25kW, it is possible to use particularly wide grinding wheels up to 160mm.” The S36 fills a gap between the existing S11 and S22 machines and it offers greater spindle and automation variants. This includes integration with the easyLoad and uniLoad systems that permit customers to automate production on the S36. Additional options include the ability to add high-speed grinding with CBN or diamond grinding wheels and the Smartjet system. Huber also mentioned the success of the new S100 internal cylindrical grinding machine that was introduced in October 2022. Since this introduction, new spindle options have already been added such as the powerful Ø58mm dressing spindle with more additions planned for further models in the future. As the company moves through 2024, sales are expected to remain strong with a projected upturn in the second half of the year. This will be set in motion by major exhibition appearances and the arrival of new models for the respective events. The new arrival will be a successor to the popular favoritCNC that will reveal new features. Some features in the pipeline include an angle display of the wheel head, the popular QuickSet setup function and a conventional mode as a manual grinding cycle that permits manual grinding without any programming. A particular focus for development in 2023 was given to the company's C.O.R.E. hardware and software architecture from the UNITED GRINDING GROUP. “The C.O.R.E. touch operating panel already allows an unprecedented level of intuitive use. Soon there will be a customisable interface where operators can define and save their workspace,” explained Huber. Data collection and analysis, as well as new sensors and instruments, were also a focus. Looking to the future of the business, the CTO added: “The issue of sustainability continues to be important. The SmartJet® cooling system developed by Studer already sets new industry standards with its ability to reduce the need for coolant and energy in the grinding process. Demand for high-performance semiconductors is also rising due to e-mobility and photovoltaics. Studer's S41 CNC universal cylindrical grinding machine with in-situ X-ray measuring head now sets the standard in wafer manufacturing. It is extremely successful in the market. In the long term, only the machine manufacturers who offer intelligent and efficient machines incorporating the latest technology can be successful,” summarised the CTO as he reflected on the extensive development activities over the past 12 months. Obviously, the success of a business is not purely based upon its product lines, but also its very foundations. To reflect upon the internal business activities, COO Stephan Stoll provided an overview, saying: “The production mix of the machines manufactured has shifted to more complex systems through 2023. With active procurement management and the normalisation of global supply chains, orders were completed on time.” Stoll positively assessed the implementation of the joint production strategy within the UNITED GRINDING Group, which provided Studer with significantly improved utilisation. Major operational projects included investments in automated test stands and manufacturing tools. As one of the very few grinding manufacturers producing high-quality spindles, the expertise for these strategically important machine components has been expanded. Comprehensive structural and logistical measures were further implemented in Steffisburg. This has been bolstered in the internal grinding competence centre in Biel with plans for further growth. Referring to the additional growth, the COO said: “After the considerable investments of the past years, the redesign of our logistics processes and warehouse infrastructure is now imminent. The centrepiece of this project is a central logistics hub with a directly connected container warehouse. The higher efficiency of the fully automated warehouse system will benefit machine production.”  The press was shown a roadmap of the planned changes to the manufacturing facility and how it will streamline production, service and logistics. In conclusion, Jens Bleher emphasised the great importance of well-trained employees. He was very pleased with the recent successes at the prestigious professional championships, SwissSkills. Last year, Studer apprentices Luis Salzmann (1st place, design engineer EFZ) and Noah Rossel (2nd place, automation engineer EFZ) won the gold and silver medals with their outstanding performances. “STUDER is represented for the third time in a row at the WorldSkills showcase. We are very proud of this. It confirms our extensive commitment to vocational training,” concludes CEO Bleher. This commitment to education was further strengthened with an award presentation at the press event for its research prize, the ‘Fritz Studer Award'.  Applicants from several European countries submitted their work and it was Dr. Emil Sauter who won the award and the prize of CHF 10,000. The Fritz Studer Award is aimed at graduates from European universities and technical colleges. “The objectives of the research prize are to boost innovation in the machine tool industry with feasible solutions whilst also promoting young technical and scientific talents,” says Dr Frank Fiebelkorn, Head of Research and Technology at Studer.  Numerous theses and dissertations were submitted to Studer and evaluated by a panel of experts consisting of Prof. Konrad Wegener, Inspire Institute for Machine Tools and Manufacturing at ETH Zurich, Dr Hans-Werner Hoffmeister, former head of the Manufacturing Technology department at the Institute for Machine Tools and Manufacturing Technology of the TU Braunschweig, and Dr Frank Fiebelkorn, Head of Research and Technology at Fritz Studer AG. Criteria for evaluating the works included the feasibility of the findings in the mechanical engineering industry, the degree of innovation and quality of the research idea, scientific content, form, and the accuracy of statements, and the results and findings.  The Fritz Studer Award 2023 was presented to Dr. Emil Sauter from the Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Machine Tools at ETH Zurich. He impressed the entire jury with his topic. ‘Detection and avoidance of thermal damage for high-performance metal grinding processes using hybrid machine learning models.' His work deals with the development of an innovative condition monitoring system for external cylindrical grinding with metal-bonded CBN tools, which recognises thermal damage in situ and predicts the remaining useful life of grinding tools with relative accuracy. Process parameters such as structure-borne noise, spindle current and force characteristics can be identified. With time-frequency transformations, the research identified features of a process to detect different stages of thermal damage. The remaining tool life can also be estimated. In general, this work with its many industry-oriented practical tests also shows that machine learning methods can lead to higher productivity and improved component quality. Whilst MTD magazine extends its congratulations to Dr Emil Sauter, we also applaud Studer for creating a platform for the engineers of tomorrow.
