A Unique Approach to Engineering Expertise
In the rapidly expanding industry of engineering, the process of training new talent is just as important as the end product.
ProAutomated stands out with a training program that is as unique as it is effective.
Unlike traditional approaches that often focus on theory over practice, ProAutomated has flipped the script, ensuring that every controls engineer it trains is prepared for the real-world challenges they’ll face.
To be clear, this program isn’t just about learning the ropes—it’s about teaching the problem-solving frameworks that will allow program graduates to climb them with confidence.
And with a program admission rate rivaling Harvard University (only 1% in Q2 2024 of ProAutomated training program applicants go on to make the final cut), the integrity and rigor of the process can’t be overstated.

Let’s delve deeper into what makes ProAutomated’s training program a cut above the rest, and why companies looking to hire a control engineer might find what they need within our graduates.
Hands-On Learning from Day One
From the very first day of their four week training, ProAutomated’s trainees are immersed in a hands-on learning environment.
This stands in stark contrast to the often theoretical-heavy coursework found in many academic settings. Practical experience is the cornerstone of our training, ensuring that when you outsource an engineering job to ProAutomated graduates, you’re getting someone who knows how to apply their knowledge effectively.
In the field and on the job, it’s rare for an engineer to come across a problem that has a solution readily spelled out. Our engineers have the knowledge and intuition to handle real-world equipment, troubleshoot actual problems, and develop solutions that work.
This practical approach ensures that every ProAutomated engineer is not just familiar with the theory behind their work but is also adept at applying it in a variety of situations.
Active Mentorship and Support
Another key feature of ProAutomated’s training program is the emphasis on community and mentorship.
Each new ProAutomated trainee is housed on site alongside 2-3 fellow engineers to fully immerse them in their community for the duration of the training program.
Beginning in week one, trainees are placed in a group of no more than six fellow engineers. From there, ProAutomated mentors provide guidance, share insights, and encourage the kind of critical thinking that’s necessary for success in this field.
This personalized attention helps to cultivate a deep understanding of the role of a control engineer and ensures that our trainees are supported every step of the way.
And this mentorship extends beyond technical skills; at ProAutomated, we believe in developing well-rounded professionals.
Our mentors help trainees navigate the complexities of the engineering field, from managing client relationships to understanding the subtleties of different industries.
A Growth Mindset for Continuous Improvement
We believe that a growth mindset is essential for any controls engineer who wants to thrive in the fast-paced world of technology. ProAutomated’s training program instills this mindset from the outset, encouraging engineers to view challenges as opportunities for development rather than insurmountable obstacles.
This focus on continual improvement means that our engineers are always looking for ways to enhance their skills and knowledge. They’re adaptable, resilient, and ready to tackle the unknown, making them invaluable assets to any team looking to hire an engineer with a forward-thinking approach.
Selecting the Right Talent: The Importance of Interpersonal Skills
At the heart of ProAutomated’s philosophy is the belief that technical prowess alone isn’t enough to excel in the complex landscape of modern engineering.
Recognizing the varied nature of industry challenges, our training program places huge emphasis on selecting engineers who not only demonstrate technical expertise but also possess excellent interpersonal skills.
At ProAutomated, we understand that effective communication, empathy, and teamwork are indispensable traits that enable our engineers to collaborate successfully and deliver exceptional service to our clients.
Developing Emotional Intelligence Alongside Technical Abilities
Embracing emotional intelligence is not an optional extra at ProAutomated; it’s embedded into the fabric of our training program.
We believe that an engineer’s ability to understand and manage their own emotions, as well as interpret and influence the feelings of others, is vital for achieving excellence. It enhances the decision-making process, strengthens client relationships, and underpins effective project management.
Ultimately, ProAutomated’s commitment to nurturing well-rounded engineers with exceptional interpersonal and emotional skills ensures that our training program graduates are not just formidable problem-solvers, but also empathetic and communicative professionals.
This comprehensive approach to training is one of the key reasons why ProAutomated engineers are highly sought-after in the industry, ready to lead, innovate, and inspire.
The Results: A Track Record of Success
When you outsource an engineering job to a ProAutomated graduate, you’re investing in quality and innovation.
Companies that have partnered with us have noted the tangible difference in the caliber of work and the problem-solving abilities of our engineers. It’s a testament to a training program that doesn’t just teach – it transforms.
