The company held an inaugural event with more than 70 students from Inacap Valdivia, with the aim of showing them the job market they can find at Blumar, bringing them closer to the fishing and aquaculture industry, and strengthening the connection with the academic world.

As part of Blumar’s strategic plan focused on the fishing area, “Proyecto Faro”. Blumar launched its new internship program, an initiative aimed at strengthening the training of future professionals in the sector, connecting academia with industry and consolidating a closer link with the communities where the company is present.
The program began with an inaugural activity that brought together more than 70 students from Inacap Valdivia, who were able to directly learn about the production processes, technical areas and the different professional development opportunities offered by Blumar, allowing them to visualize the job market available within the company and its projection in the fishing and aquaculture industry.
“We decided to give this initial kick-off in Valdivia because we are interested in showing the different processes that take place in our different facilities. Thanks to this, more than 70 students were able to learn about our production, maintenance, quality and prevention areas. The idea is to motivate students to do their internship with us and continue strengthening the alliance we maintain with Inacap”, said Blumar’s head of Organizational Development, Paulina Pincheira.

Cristina Barrientos, head of Graduates, Internships and Employability at Inacap Valdivia, stated that “it was an enriching instance for the connection. In the future, students who do their professional internships at this company will be able to learn about its characteristics, its ways of working and the safety that exists in the plants. It has been a very beneficial activity for both students and the company”.

For his part, Sebastián Muñoz, a student of Automation and Robotics Engineering, and Álvaro García, a third-year student of Mechatronics, pointed out that “it was a very pleasant visit to see how the process works and see the final product. Although we study a lot of theory and how to assemble things in a practical way, seeing them installed in the industry or in a complete process changes a lot how you see how the production process works. After visiting the facilities, yes, I would like to work in an industry like this, especially because of the technological advances and innovation that is present in this type of industry”.
