BOTTA Eco Packaging has been awarded the BAQ 2026 – Bollino per l’Alternanza di Qualità, reflecting our commitment to supporting young talent, sharing our professional expertise and giving students the opportunity to gain their first experience in a business environment.
What is the BAQ – Bollino per l’Alternanza di Qualità?
The BAQ (Bollino per l’Alternanza di Qualità) is a recognition promoted by Confindustria to highlight companies that collaborate with educational institutions to provide high-quality training opportunities and connect academic learning with real business environments.
In Italy, these initiatives are part of PCTO (Percorsi per le Competenze Trasversali e per l’Orientamento), which connects academic education with the professional environment. Through PCTO, students can put their classroom knowledge into practice, strengthen their practical and professional skills, and gain a better understanding of how businesses operate.
When companies and schools work together, younger generations are better prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the professional world.
Work-Based Learning at BOTTA EcoPackaging
For BOTTA EcoPackaging, investing in young people is part of a commitment that goes back years. Our company received the BAQ recognition for the first time in 2018, and the 2026 award confirms the continuity of its involvement in education and student training programs.
During their experience at BOTTA EcoPackaging, students are involved in activities across different departments and have the opportunity to contribute to individual projects. Rather than simply observing how a company operates, they gain first-hand experience of different professional roles, develop practical skills and discover the importance of collaboration and teamwork. Each learning path is tailored to students’ interests and learning needs, helping them develop professional skills, gain practical experience and build confidence in their abilities.
The learning also goes both ways. Students bring fresh perspectives, curiosity and new ideas, while our company gains valuable insights from interacting with younger generations. We believe this exchange benefits both sides and helps build a stronger connection between education and the business community.
Investing in People and the Local Community
People, teamwork and continuous learning are among the core values of BOTTA EcoPackaging. We consider education and professional development essential drivers of individual growth and long-term progress.
Our commitment also extends beyond the workplace. By collaborating with educational institutions and supporting young people as they take their first steps towards professional life, we contribute to the development of the local community and the wider area in which we operate.
Receiving the BAQ – Bollino per l’Alternanza di Qualità in 2026 is an important recognition of these efforts and encourages us to continue investing in initiatives that support young generations and create opportunities for future talent.
