AMEREX INGREDIENTS, CEMP’S PARTNER IN TRAINING FOOD SAFETY EXPERTS
Amerex values collaboration between industry and academia by partnering with the European Centre for Master’s and Postgraduate Studies (CEMP) to host students from its Master’s in Food Technology and Safety programme.
This master’s degree, taught online, offers comprehensive and advanced training in all key aspects of food safety and food manufacturing technology. Students acquire advanced knowledge in key areas such as microbiology, manufacturing technology, contaminant analysis, applied biotechnology, food analysis techniques, and safety and quality regulations (HACCP and international certifications).
The students currently hosted by Amerex Ingredients for their internships are integrated into the R&D department, actively participating in the development of new biotechnology-based preservative products. The internship allows them to put into practice the knowledge acquired during the master’s degree and to integrate into a work environment where they see ‘use cases’ with real customers and face new challenges.
CEMP recently published a video on its website explaining how the synergy between a rigorous teaching environment such as CEMP and practical experience at Amerex helps to better prepare students and strengthen their employability.
“For us, contributing to the training of future professionals is very important. These are people who are going to dedicate themselves to food safety, which is our passion, and on top of that, we can learn from them while they are with us” emphasises Alejandro Rodríguez, technical director at Amerex.
With this type of initiative, Amerex reinforces its role not only as a leader in clean label preservation solutions for the food industry, but also as a company committed to developing young talent and training future professionals in the sector.
