Electrostatic Discharge Webinars – Matt Parry
We hope semester is progressing well and that you are taking full advantage all that Purdue has to offer! As previously discussed, the mission of the Professional Masters Program is to increase your competitiveness in the job market while upholding the Purdue brand. With this in mind, we are excited to announce a new webinar series in partnership with Matt Parry of Parry Consultants, focused on industry applications.
Matt Parry, a former colleague at Seagate Technology and a current partner at Parry Consultants, brings extensive experience from his 27-year tenure in the global technology sector and entrepreneurial insights from running his own consulting firm. I had the privilege of partnering with Matt at Seagate Technology to launch strategic talent upskilling and reskilling programs, which led us to receiving the prestigious Brand Hall Global Human Capital Management Award in 2023.
The Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) webinars are condensed versions of all-day courses that Matt developed in collaboration with Kevin Duncan, a world-renowned ESD expert and Vice-Chairman of the ESD Association’s Committee on Standards, who is currently managing the ESD program at Blue Origin. Additionally, the 8D Problem-Solving webinar is a streamlined version of a two-day program Matt delivers in partnership with TUV SUD, a leading global standards and training organization. These courses have been presented to companies across various industries, including major pharmaceutical firms like AbbVie and electronic manufacturers such as Flex, QP Technologies, and Muth.
We hope you take advantage of this opportunity! Webinar information and registration links are included below. Additional information is in the attached pdf documents.
