IPMMI has launched a novel initiative to connect the packaging industry with the budding talent in the packaging academic segment. PACKAGING ACADEMIA CORE OF EXCELLENCE (PACE) is a platform where students can post & share their write-ups and articles related to packaging, look for internships and job opportunities offered directly by the fraternity and end-user businesses, and leverage the valuable knowledge sharing within the community to guide their careers towards the packaging industry that they strive to be a part of.PACE aims to bridge the gap between the hands-on industry professionals and the theorists by way of open two-way communication. While students benefit from this single window approach to gain access to the innovative world of packaging, the industry in-turn stands to profit from the untapped talent that academia has to offer. Businesses can access the intellectual resource articles, innovation updates and thought-provoking media posted by the packaging students. They can also approach the students as potential hires.
