As part of an ongoing effort to help educate the next generation of packaging professionals, Pregis LLC, a North American leader in protective packaging solutions, has implemented several initiatives. These include student internships, mentoring, equipment/material donations, and event sponsorships.
Pregis is partnering with four institutions (Cal Poly State University, Clemson University, University of Wisconsin, Stout and Michigan State University) with packaging curriculums. “Our goal is to support the universities and connect with students to share our packaging knowledge,” says Cherie Barnier, director of human resources. “Today’s students will be tomorrow’s packaging engineers and decision makers, so it is important that we, as industry professionals, invest in their future.”
