“With this step, a long-cherished wish is coming true. The idea of one day transferring my acquired knowledge to young technicians in training has been something I have wanted for a long time.” This is how Ype Brada characterizes his move to a teaching position at the NHL. Ype will be helping HBO students in the field of mechanical engineering 1 day a week, based on his practical knowledge gained in his long career at Philips. Ype is currently active in the Innovation Team Female Beauty of Philips Consumer Lifestyle. This team designs Ladyshaves, curling irons, hair dryers and many more well-known consumer products. This step underlines that the companies of the Innovation Cluster Drachten are very serious about strengthening ties with education in the region. The ICD therefore wishes Ype much pleasure in his new role!
