THE Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association (APPMA), in conjunction with the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP), have announced the second annual scholarship program will enable a packaging engineer the opportunity to complete a Diploma in Packaging Technology.
“The annual scholarship enables the awardee to enrol in the Australian Institute of Packaging Diploma in Packaging Technology; an internationally recognised and accredited course,” APPMA chairman, Rob Lawrence said.
AIP national president, Craig Wellman, added the Institute is grateful that associations like APPMA recognise the importance of education and training and are contributing to the growth of the packaging industry as a whole in Australia.
“The Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association annual scholarship program is now in its second year and the AIP encourages all packaging engineers to register for the 2010 scholarship,” Wellman said.
The Diploma in Packaging Technology has been offered by the AIP continuously since 1980 and is now offered on-line. The qualification is broad, and provides an opportunity to study the principles of packaging, packaging materials and packaging processes. The Diploma is a degree-level qualification that prepares students to take responsibility for packaging operations at any level through the supply chain.
Entries are now available for the Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association 2010 Scholarship program and can be accessed by emailing - info@appma.com.au or visiting www.aipack.com.au and clicking on the scholarship page.
Submissions for the 2010 APMA scholarship will close on Friday 30 April.
