Theme for September 23rd: How do we encourage the right knowledge to enter the packaging industry?

On September 23rd, Packbridge after 3 will be focusing on how we can attract the right knowledge and the right people to the packaging industry in the future.

The general need for a skilled workforce is significant, and not only in the packaging industry. Among other things Packbridge has been involved in helping the Packaging Technician vocational course to get started in Eslöv, and for example in Sunne and Stockholm there are courses that focus on packaging design. In most cases those who attend these courses get a job immediately upon completion of their studies, or very soon after. This proves the need for this sort of training.

But beyond the current situation, it is also important to lift our gaze towards the horizon and see what will be needed in the future. What skills do we need to attract into the industry in the future? And how will we do that? In other words, what are the arguments that encourage future talents to really want to work in the packaging industry? How can we profile ourselves and become interesting to people with different skills?

These are some of the topics that we will be taking up at Packbridge after 3 on September 24th. We will also try to define what needs the packaging industry must fulfil in the future to meet trends such as digitisation and urbanisation, to name but two.

And, not least of interest, how do recent graduates really view the packaging industry? Why do they approach the industry at all? Is it an attractive area?

As you can see, it will be an interesting afternoon. We will announce the venue and a detailed programme shortly. Meanwhile, you should make a note of the date in your calendar.

The afternoon will also be streamed live so that everyone in the Packbridge North area will be able to watch the broadcast together, rather than sit alone in front of a computer.
Networking is an important part of Packbridge events.
