This year as well, at Franplast we had the pleasure of hosting students from local high schools and technical institutes, confirming our commitment to building bridges between education and industry.
Supporting education—especially in scientific disciplines—is a strategic and value-driven choice for us: we believe in the potential of new generations and invest in projects that spark curiosity, dedication, and vision.
Collaboration with Istituto Marzoli
In June, we welcomed the third-year chemistry classes from Istituto Marzoli in Palazzolo sull’Oglio, with whom we’ve been carrying out a strong and stimulating collaboration for two years.
The visit to our company marked the final step of a project that involved students throughout the entire school year. It was a valuable opportunity for exchange, enriched by the enthusiasm and eagerness to learn shown by these young people.
Michele returns: Three weeks in R&D
One of the most significant experiences was that of Michele, a fourth-year chemistry student from Istituto Marzoli, who completed a three-week Work-Based Learning program (PCTO) in our R&D laboratory.
Michele had already taken part in a project the previous year, which ended with a visit to our company, and we were delighted to welcome him back for a new phase of his journey. During his time with us, he showed a true passion for chemistry, initiative, and curiosity, contributing enthusiastically to the work of our team.
Interns from Fondazione ITS JobsAcademy
Earlier this year, we also hosted Letizia, a student from Fondazione ITS JobsAcademy in Bergamo, the largest ITS in Italy.
Enrolled in the Design and Materials Technology program, Letizia completed a three-month curricular internship at our Research and Development lab.
Her skills and creative approach made a tangible contribution to the team’s work, further confirming how important these synergies between academia and industry truly are.
In line with our company vision, we continue to promote pathways that foster dialogue with schools and pay particular attention to supporting women’s education in STEM disciplines, to build a more equitable and innovative future together.
