Miniplant-Skids made by FHNW & Aprentas
An interdisciplinary project of aprentas and the School of Life Sciences FHNW
These MiniPlant-Skids are miniature replicas of real production plants and enable trainees from the fields of laboratory, production and technology to practice the application, maintenance and repair of technical apparatuses in realistic scenarios. State-of-the-art technologies of active ingredient production and downstream processing can thus be learned in a practical manner – similar to in a flight simulator.
Together for new skilled professionals
The project sustainably promotes the collaboration between basic vocational education and the university of applied sciences. Students of FHNW receive the unique opportunity to actively experience and help shape the process of an investment project in active ingredient production. The knowledge gained is decisive for their later career in the process industry. At the same time, the trainees at aprentas are given the opportunity to experience and shape the interaction of the different disciplines.
Thus, this project strengthens in the long term the attractiveness of the involved professions at both levels of education – both in basic vocational education and at the university of applied sciences – and thereby counteracts the shortage of skilled workers.
Your support makes the difference – Together we shape the future of the process industry!
We warmly invite you to support the MiniPlant-Skids project through a sponsoring partnership. There are several ways to get involved:
Provision of experienced specialists from your company to support the students in project management or technical questions.
Collaboration in the strategic management of the overall project.
Provision of apparatuses or instruments for the MiniPlant-Skids.
