Dipak Tumbad
Apprentice,
Bobst India
“After earning an ITI certification in electronics, I was employed as an apprentice with Bobst India and worked on panel wiring and maintenance of the Experfold machine. Post the three- month course, I wish to continue working with Bobst, though at a senior position. My take on the course: it has taught me something new and opened up avenues to a new career. Apart from this, I have earlier attended a seminar at IIP which helped me to learn and apply the basics of packaging.”

 
Manish Kumar 
Employee,
Cambay PrintPack
“Post my graduation in Bachelor of Arts,  I started working with Cambay PrintPack, who promoted me to the course. This three-month course has given me the confidence to work on any machine and not only the ones manufactured by Bobst”. Cambay Printpack has a folder gluer machine at their facility which has now earned a skilled worker. I    further wish to enroll for a diploma in packaging from IIP to boost my knowledge and gain an edge over the others.”
 

Ravi Telkar
Trainee Engineer,
ZF India 
“I would like to thank Bobst to enroll me for the course in spite of not having a background in packaging. Post this course, I am confident to be placed in any company which is in need of operator for the Expertfold machine. As a startup in this field, this course provides the perfect advantage. Apart from the training programme, I have also attended a seminar at IIP, earlier, on behalf of Bobst India, wherein I was taught the basics of packaging which I could apply during the three-month training course.
 

Satyendra Kumar Dubey
Supervisor,
Micro Print & Pack
“The certification programme has given me an edge and has complemented my earlier certification training from ITI. Micro Print & Pack, where I am employed as a supervisor, houses an Expertfold and will now benefit by getting a skilled worker to run their machine post this course. Earlier I used to not consider packaging of much importance but after this three-month course, I have learnt the importance of packaging and the underlying difficulties in its technicalities.”
