Gosse Terpstra: "For years I've been gathering a lot of knowledge about industrial packaging. But because my retirement was approaching and that knowledge was not recorded anywhere, we decided to collect all that expertise, put it down on paper and offer it to our employees in the form of a course. In 2011, together with a colleague, I started selecting a training institute that could assist us with this, and Tutorial training institute in Enschede was ultimately chosen. Through forum groups in the company we collected all this knowledge, assessed it and made it suitable for training under the guidance of Tutorial. In 2014, the first colleagues were trained, assessed for competence and provided with a certificate
Combination of e-learning and practical training
Colleagues participate in this through e-learning. They log in at home or at another place of residence and can follow the theoretical part of the training. The practical part takes place during the actual work. To this end, we use the principle of 'train the trainer'. These specially trained colleagues are able to transfer the knowledge to the participants during the practical training program. Linked to this are also practical assignments which the participants must complete successfully. External supervisors check whether all this is done in accordance with the industry requirements."
