Bormioli Pharma Launches the Plastic Academy

Bormioli Pharma, a manufacturer of pharmaceutical packaging and medical devices, is launching the Plastic Academy in October, a training project designed to launch young talents into the profession of plastics processing technician. The advanced training course will be held at the Castelguelfo plant, near Parma, Italy, and will last a total of three weeks. The project has been designed in collaboration with Synergie Italia, a French multinational human resources company.

The training covers all the main topics that are necessary to fully understand the world of plastic processing and ranges from the basics of raw materials and mould design to the various plastics processing technologies and product quality.

In a statement, the company said that the real value of the project is to provide participants with a solid technical basis, but also the possibility of joining the Bormioli Pharma Group. After completing the Plastic Academy, the most deserving students will be offered the opportunity to join the company in technical roles.

“As a specialized manufacturing company, we feel the need to bridge the gap between the world of education and the world of work by offering a highly professionalizing pathway that can transfer high skills and knowledge of plastics production processes,” said Debora Grieco, human resources manager of the Bormioli Pharma Group’s Plastics Division. “To do this, we wanted to combine lessons with practical learning, involving internal tutors and external specialist teachers.”
