Jari Nyström, Manager, Vocational training, UPM, tel. Today, a search will open for new apprenticeship positions for UPM's two paper mills in Kouvola and Lappeenranta, Finland. We are currently looking for some 20 new plywood production professionals for UPM Plywood's Pellos, the Europe's largest plywood mill in Europe. In the just-completed application period, we received a total of 1,250 applications for 30 training positions at our three pulp mills in Finland and the Lappeenranta Biorefinery. UPM's apprenticeship programmes are popular. Our investments are notable, because we always select and train students with the idea that they would be employed in positions they are trained for," says Jari Nyström, Manager, Vocational training at UPM. Our training programmes are of a very high standard, and we continuously develop them further and monitor their quality, and also collect feedback from all parties involved. We have been refining our operating model according to our needs for years. The competence required for safe and productive work at the mills cannot be studied directly at school, although extensive basic training can certainly be obtained there.
"UPM's multidisciplinary business requires expertise in various professions. UPM pays salary to the students for the duration of the programme. The training is planned together with the external training partners. The two-year programmes consist of practical on-the-job learning as well as contact instruction periods. The scope of our training activities is illustrated by the fact that in recent years there have been 15-20 apprenticeship programmes running simultaneously in different businesses, with a continuous number of 150-300 future professionals. UPM invests significantly in training programmes with high goals based on business needs. The aim of these business-specific apprenticeship programmes is to increase the number of experts with a vocational degree for production and maintenance at UPM's mills throughout Finland.
This autumn, UPM will recruit some 70 new students for several apprenticeship program me s in Finland.
