The AIP recently ran an in-house corporate training program for Venus Packaging www.venuspack.com.au which was held at Amora Riverwalk Hotel, Richmond, Melbourne. The training was conducted by AIP Education Director, Pierre Pienaar MSc, FAIP, CPP.
“What a terrific group the Venus Packaging staff were. I could certainly sense the team bonding that this group of Sales, Marketing and Technical had amongst themselves. It was great to see this within an organisation; well done to Venus Packaging in arranging this Technical Product Training.” Mr Pienaar said.
“To understand flexibles and laminates, we had to understand general plastics first and to understand Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), one has to first ensure a good understanding of barrier properties and Fick’s law of diffusion. We had a lot to cover in this half-day training as we included adhesives as well. All of the attendees had a copy of a set of thorough notes covering all topics to refer to when they were back at work.
The attendees raised their own questions giving examples of real life scenarios within the business. This focused discussion forum was stimulating and encouraging.”
The true success in such training is to have a follow-up session in 6 months to see how each individual has applied their knowledge gained and to see what more can be done over the following 12 months.
