Press release, December 2006
Poldanor is opening its Agricultural Academy – PAMA
On the 7th November this year, the first group of 16 managers and foremen began the training in Poldanor Agriculture and Management Academy (PAMA) in the village of Koczała in Pomorskie Voivodeship. The participants in the Academy will in the first place be persons who are already employed in Poldanor SA. The aim of the courses will be raising the qualifications of employees at each level of the organisational structure of the company, starting with production processes and up to the Management level.
Initially, the courses will be run in hired premises, which are located nearby the company’s seat. The next stage will be moving the courses to own buildings, which will house, apart from lecture rooms, a boarding house for approx. 40 course participants. This will probably be one of the agricultural production centres utilised by Poldanor, which will be redeveloped into a training and conference centre.
„Through the establishment of Poldanor’s Agricultural Academy, we wish to resolve one of the basic problems of the agricultural sector in the Central and Eastern Europe, namely, the shortage of qualified workforce and managers” – says Tom Axelgaard, the President of Poldanor S. A.
In the initial period (the year 2007), the courses run in PAMA Training Centre will be first of all designed for the employees and the management staff of Poldanor S.A. They will become available to other interested parties at the end of the year 2007. The courses will be devoted in the first place to broadening the knowledge in the field of management of agricultural farms, with particular attention paid to plant production and pig production. The theoretical knowledge will be complemented with practice in Poldanor SA’s farms.
PAMA will at the same time be the centre for exchanging the modern know-how in the field of modern agriculture and management of agricultural farms, where Poldanor SA’s international contacts will be utilised and new relations will be initiated. In this context, the knowledge of the English language is of essence, therefore Poldanor in addition organises language courses for its employees. This will enable better access to knowledge in the field of managing farms in a more advanced and progressive way. All the training courses for participants from abroad and from Poland, who express such the wish, will be conducted in English.
PAMA intends to closely cooperate with, for example, Danish agricultural schools, in order to exchange knowledge and experience. This means that courses will also be run by foreign lecturers specialised in various fields. Moreover, PAMA is planning to run courses in management, and not only for people connected with the agricultural industry.
