On Monday 21 September in 
Reggio Emilia (Italy) CIS, Unindustria Reggio Emilia’s service company for business management, presented two innovative post-diploma courses that promise to form some of the most popular job profiles on the market.
In detail, the courses are “product technician in the system of plastics processing” and “plant installation and maintenance technician 4.0”.
The first has the objective of preparing students to work in the production sectors of the plastics industries; the second aims to train resources able to organize the installation and maintenance service of robotic plants and systems by applying industrial automation concepts based on the 4.0 model.
