Robots and People Working in the Giant Warehouse of Magnum, Whose Decisions May Depend on Someone's Life
The article discusses an initiative aimed at educating children about various professions, particularly in the field of medicine, through workplace visits.
The article features Mari Krass, chairperson of Magnum AS, recalling a childhood memory related to understanding the professions of her parents. In light of this, Magnum AS, a pharmaceuticals wholesaler, has opened its facilities to illustrate the workings of one of Estonia's crucial medical nerve centers. This initiative is part of the Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry's program called 'Bringing Work to Life!', designed specifically to give children insights into the workplace.
Explaining the significance of the program, Krass notes that it's often challenging for kids to comprehend jobs that are not tangible or easily relatable. While most children can grasp the concept of a seller or dentist, the logistics involved in a pharmaceuticals warehouse may seem abstract. The workplace visits allow children to gain a firsthand understanding of the importance of their education and the roles played by their parents in sectors that impact lives.
The initiative not only bridges the gap between education and real-world applications but also instills a sense of purpose and importance in learning subjects like mathematics. By exposing children to the operations behind the medical supply chain, Magnum AS aims to inspire the next generation and foster appreciation for the various careers that contribute to healthcare.
