Packaging engineers have been invited to apply for a $9000 scholarship to complete a Diploma in Packaging Technology.

The Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association (APPMA) and the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) are able to offer the opportunity to a worthy recipient.

Graduates of the diploma typically become experienced practitioners or managers in technical, sales/marketing, QA, purchasing, engineering or design fields.

“Completion of the Diploma in Packaging Technology demonstrates your commitment to your career and to the industry,” an APPMA spokesperson said.

“Delegates who successfully complete the diploma are equipping themselves for senior positions within the packaging industry.”

Applications for the scholarship, which can be submitted here, close on Friday 8 April.

The winner will be announced during the 2016 AIP National Conference on 1 June at the Crown Promenade, Melbourne.
