The highly successful NIPA Polymer Academy will deliver to a second cohort of students during the second half of 2021 and expressions are being sought for places on the course. The initial programme was delivered in an innovative manner whereby classroom training took place in the participating companies, rotating business during each session. This model gave a unique insight into shopfloor practices and practical hands-on training that reinforced the underlying theory.

The delivery model developed by NIPA and it’s member companies shows the strength of the organisation in seeking to advance the local polymer industry. The syllabus was developed specifically to suit the needs of individual companies and due to the demand for further student places, a second cohort is now being organised.
